My Department is participating in the Ad Hoc Working Group on GMOs established under the French Presidency of the Environment Council. Two meetings of the group have taken place to date. I am supportive of the initiative taken by France to promote better practice in the assessment, and control at the level of the individual member state, of GM crops intended for cultivation in the European Union.
