GRRR.. Im full of all the swear words I have ever heard after reading this nasty BBC article.. Somebody please stop these evil bastards! GM crops: UK scientists call for new trials A new report on genetically modified (GM) crops, commissioned by the prime minister, calls for more UK field trials and fewer EU restrictions. The Council for Science and Technology (CST) wants public good GM varieties to be grown and tested in the UK. It says GM crops should be assessed individually - like pharmaceuticals - taking potential benefits into account. A new UK regulator similar to NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) should be set up, it says. The UK is a world leader in plant biotechnology research, but GM field trial applications have fallen from 37 in 1995 to just one in 2012. Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has spoken in favour of increasing UK research into GM, which he said offers the most wonderful opportunities to improve human health.
