For companies interested in entering the Australian
biotechnology industry, the Australian Government has created a new website
related to biotechnology regulatory requirements.  The website, BioRegs Online (www.bioregs.gov.au),
was designed to provide easily accessible information to assist companies in
devising plans for developing and marketing biotech products.  Specifically, BioRegs Online hopes to
facilitate understanding of and compliance with the regulatory requirements in
Australia, which will hopefully speed up the approval process for biotech
products.
