Apr 28, 2009Germany to Allow GMO Potato Trials
Germany’s Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner said on Monday she will allow test cultivation of a potato containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Open air trials of the GMO potato Amflora, developed by German chemicals group BASF (BASF.DE) presented no threat to public health or the environment, she said.
Aigner said this month she would carry out a new review of an application for the open-air trial cultivation of Amflora, which was test-cultivated on 150 hectares in 2008. Reuters
