Remember…
The European Regulatory system is the most robust anywhere in the world
No GM product has achieved regulatory approval for cultivation since 1998
Only one “first generation” is currently licenced for use in the EU
We do have a functional system for import and food and feed use
10 products went into the system in 2008
Only 4 products came out of the system in 2008

Soybean – non agronomic traitsSoybean – non agronomic traits
High oleic soybean– Oleic acid reduces transfats– Submitted for regulatory approval
Low phytate soybeans– Reduced phosphorus levels in livestock/poultry manure– Improved human nutrition through better mineral absorption by the
body
High omega-3 soybeans– Much increased omega-3 levels for improved human health benefits
High stearic acid soybeans– Up to six times more than conventional with improved food processing
benefits through reducing harmful fats
JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09
…and not just an empty promise!
Long chain omega-3 fatty acids – a vital constituent in our diets but rarely eaten at the recommended levels
Up to now, the only viable point of entry for the long chain versions is through unsustainable fishing
Now successfully introduced into soybean
Crops grown in field trials
Human clinical trials completed
Close to submission for regulatory approval
Will we ever see it on the UK shelves??
On the way…

More and more GM crops now have Multiple Gene Additions
JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09
What does Bt (insect tolerance) do for your yield?
JPL – APPG on Science & Technology in Agriculture – 24/03/09
Potatoes – esp BASF
– Blight Resistance – would have a huge positive impact on potato growing in UK and Ireland
– Industrial use – higher quality, lower energy imput. Amflora currently stuck in EU system
UK Specific Crops
Oilseed Rape – esp Bayer & BASF
– Modified oils to include zero-trans and long chain fats versions as well as Omega-3– Even higher yielding versions on the way

Conclusions
The first generation simple GM crops are being rapidly supplanted by multiple gene stacked second generation products
Different companies have different expertise in different crops
Increasingly, crops containing quality traits are entering the regulatory process
Public funding is starting to drive innovation in countries such as India and China
Where normal business models are absent, public-private partnerships allow access to this increasingly powerful technology
