Online GM contamination register
Environmental campaign groups GreenWatch UK and Greenpeace have launched a global online register of alleged GM contamination incidents.
The two organisations hope to record all the known case of GM contamination in either food, animal feed or wild plans.
Dr Sue Mayer, GeneWatch UK’s director, said: “No Government or international agency has yet established a public record of contamination incidents or of other problems associated with GM crops. Turning a blind eye is not good enough when dealing with a technology like GM because it involves the uncontrolled release of living organisms into the environment”.
She added: “We hope this register will form an important resource for citizens and regulators in the future.”
