What is a message

For example, according to Section 9 Paragraph 4a GenTG, the authority must be informed if genetic engineering work at safety level 1 or 3 that has already been notified, registered or approved is to be carried out in another facility operated by the same operator. Likewise, according to Section 9 Paragraph 5 GenTG, notification must be given if further genetic engineering work at safety level 2, 3 or 4 is to be carried out by an international depository. Sections 21 and 26 GenTG also contain a corresponding notification requirement. In contrast to notifications, applications and approvals, for which there are strict forms, the law does not contain any further format requirements for mere notifications. This means that notifications can be made informally , i.e. without a form. It should be noted, however, that the notification requirement is generally a declaration of intent that the operator must make to the licensing authority. In these cases, the notification can be made by letter, fax or email. In all cases, the sender must be clearly recognizable and identifiable. For an email, this likely means that the email must contain the same information that would be required on regular letterhead. The submission of such notifications by the project manager (PL) and the biological safety officer (BBS) on behalf of their operators is generally not possible due to a lack of authority to represent them. PL and BBS would be well advised to prepare the content of the email, letter, or fax for the operator so that they can then send the declaration on their own letterhead/in their own email as their own declaration.
