YUGOSLAVIA 
In November 1976 a group of scientists in Yugoslavia formed a 
private group for the discussion of recombinant DNA research in that 
country. Since then a national committee has also been established. 
Three of the six republics of Yugoslavia have facilities for recombinant 
DNA research, and work is expected to begin soon. (Each republic has a 
science council, in addition to a national council.) A register of these 
activities will be maintained, and the health and safety-at-work stat- 
utes are expected to provide the basis for any regulations and safety 
guidance . 
FINLAND, GREECE, NIGERIA, AND SPAIN 
As of this time, no recombinant DNA research is being conducted, 
none is being planned, and no scientific or national commissions have 
been established to investigate the new technology in these countries.
