Relevant documents include those that describe the activities of the United Nations Transitional Administration for the independence of East Timor, moves or activities of the National Council of Timorese Resistance, or relationships between the two. Other documents on Timor are irrelevant.

A general election was held in Korea in April 2000. In 1997, the New Korea Party and the Democratic Party merged to form the Han Nara Party. The party holds about one half of the seats in the National Assembly. Documents that describe the number of seats or the rank, which the Han Nara Party won in the election for the Korean National Assembly (general election), are relevant. Documents that only describe the Han Nara Party's activities or public commitments are irrelevant. Documents describing the election schedule and the election itself are irrelevant if they do not refer to the results of the Han Nara Party.

Genetic engineering technology is used to increase yields of farm products and create new farm products that suit public taste, and technologies to process them into foods are used on a practical basis. However, there are differences of opinion even among specialists regarding the safety of these farm products and processed foods. Find out what kinds of regulations Japan and other countries impose on genetically engineered foods to secure food safety. Documents that describe the implementation or planning of regulations on genetically engineered foods to secure food safety are relevant. Documents that investigate whether genetically engineered foods are safe, those that point out possible dangers, or those that describe the necessity for regulations are partially relevant. Documents that list genetically engineered foods and describe genetic engineering technology in general are irrelevant. Genetic engineering is a technology whereby DNA from one organism is manipulated artificially and introduced into the genetic information of another organism. Farm products that have been improved or developed using genetic engineering technology are called genetically engineered products, and foods made from these products are called genetically engineered foods. genetically engineered food, safety, regulation, genetic engineering, make mandatory, world, food 049 JA EN Find documents describing damage to crops by wild animals in various parts of the world. As urbanization advances, wild animals and human beings are breaking into each other's territory; wild animals venture into residential areas and do damage to farm products. Documents that describe damage to crops by wild animals are relevant. Documents that do not mention the names of crops are also relevant provided they describe the extent of damage. Documents that focus on the protection of wild animals or symbiosis with them are relevant if they describe actual damage as background information. Documents that only refer to damage caused by wild animals in a general sense without individual cases are partially relevant. Documents that describe the influences foreign organisms imported from overseas have on ecosystems are irrelevant. animal, crops, damage, farm products, wild animal, damage due to eating 050 JA EN Find documents describing how the medical and pharmaceutical business will change as the human genome decoding project progresses. Human genome decoding is highly likely to exert revolutionary influences on genetic treatment and other areas of the medical/pharmaceutical industry. While decoding is conducted in joint research on a worldwide scale, private companies are also engaged in decoding research on their own. These companies are looking ahead to commercialization after decoding, and moving to file for patents for decoded genetic information. Documents that describe how the results of human genome decoding will be used in the medical and pharmaceutical business are relevant. Not only documents that describe current achievements but also those that refer to future prospects are relevant. Documents that refer to information on aspects related to commercialization, such as patent protection for genetic information, are also relevant. Documents that only refer to the actual situation in terms of human genome decoding competitions are irrelevant. human genome, decoding, genetic treatment, medical care, pharmaceutical, business
