Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 February 2007
163 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the progress she has made on drawing up guidelines for coexistence of genetically modified and non-genetically modified crops; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3717/07]
View answerI am currently in the process of considering submissions received from the general public on the recommendations contained in the Interdepartmental Working Group Report on Coexistence of GM crops and non GM crops in Ireland. I hope to be in a position to bring forward proposed measures for coexistence in the near future following consideration of these submissions and an evaluation of evolving developments at EU level.
The introduction of these coexistence measures will require a legislative framework and will necessitate clearance at EU level.
