During this exercise we have established that the "control" plot of conventional oilseed rape on the farm in Aberdeenshire which is participating in the GM farm scale evaluation programme has been sown with the seed in question.I have considered carefully the implications for the future of this site within the trial programme. We have taken into account the views of the independent Scientific Steering Committee which oversees the trial programme and of ACRE, as well as consulting other regulatory bodies and the SCIMAC company involved with the Daviot site.
