No GM Crop Trials in Wales - Reward for Assembly Stance

Environmental campaigners Friends of the Earth Cymru (FOE Cymru) today welcomed news that there will be no farm scale trials of beet and oil seed rape in Wales in today's Government announcement of new test sites around the UK. There will be 41 farm trials in England and three in Scotland.

Neil Crumpton, campaigner at FOE Cymru said:

"No farm scale trials of beet or oil seed in Wales is good news. This is a reward for the Assemblys tough stance on GM crop releases which we campaigned for."
