In the area of biological and chemical weapons, article 127 of the
new Penal Code criminalizes the use of genetic technology to produce biological
weapons. Any attempt or conspiracy to engage in such use is likewise

of the Sensitive Materials Control Act of 4 March 1999 in an amount equal to or
greater than 1 million pesetas (6,000 euros) shall incur a prison sentence of

General Health Act of 20 March 1989
There are strict controls on the creation, opening and operation
of any installation or establishment producing biological substances or medical
or laboratory equipment or material, or other articles for medical use, which
are subject to the quality standards required by the relevant international
bodies. The General Health Act of 20 March 1989 establishes a procedure for the
issue of authorizations, ensuring that the aforementioned products comply with
the standards of effectiveness, tolerance, purity and stability and information
requirements established by international scientific best practices. The
Government may require prior individual authorization or the approval of a
particular product for distribution, and may conduct a health inspection, inter
alia, of potentially dangerous chemicals or biological products. The labelling,
presentation, preservation, storage, handling, marketing and transport of these
health products are also regulated by the Government. Under this Act, the
Government may establish a requirement for physical and legal persons to obtain
prior authorization for activities related to the import, export or
distribution of medicines and other health products.
Sensitive Materials Control Act, 4 March
1999
The Sensitive Materials Control Act, the aim of which is to put a
stop to all illicit activities in the area of sensitive materials, provides for
appropriate monitoring so that acts which constitute misdemeanours or serious
offences under customs law may at the same time receive prior verification and
investigation by the Administration, and be penalized a posteriori pursuant to
the appropriate rules of law.To that end, the Act defines as “sensitive” any
materials which may constitute a danger to health or public safety or may be
the object of international smuggling or a clandestine market.The same
instrument also defines all the conditions and obligations to be complied with
by a person wishing to engage in any activity involving goods considered as
sensitive, as well as possible commercial activities which involve dealing in
sensitive goods, such as manufacturing, import, distribution, retailing,
transportation or storage of such goods.Persons engaging in such activities are
required to hold an official authorization to handle sensitive goods, and to
record such transactions in a register of invoices issued or received and of
stocks, which is essential in order to give the greatest possible transparency
to all the aforementioned operations. Lastly, the Sensitive Materials Control
Act defines and regulates offences and administrative penalties, and introduces
an additional provision which establishes the concept of the “economic group”
in order to cover all situations which may relate to trafficking or trading in
sensitive goods.
Act on Industrial Safety and Quality of 22
June 2000
That Act seeks to prevent and limit risks and establish effective
safeguards against incidents or accidents which may occur during an industrial
activity and which could endanger the life of persons or cause damage to
facilities. Safety procedures must be followed at all stages of industrial activity,
from production to use, including the storage and transport of industrial
products, in accordance with article 6 of the Act.
