It says:

The Minister may declare a thing to be a GMO by regulation for a limited period if the Minister believes on reasonable grounds that the thing is an actual or imminent threat to the health and safety of people ...

I interpret that to mean that we are not now talking about the GMO that is used to deal with the threat, which is why I am confused. It is actually defining the threat or the thing that is causing the threat as a GMO.
