The European Union’s system of co-existence and traceability relies on a continuous flow of information from the seed all the way to the final product. Matters are complicated, however, by the fact that many products reach European consumers from overseas. Cooperation from foreign countries is needed to streamline imported goods with the European Union’s strict requirements for GM products in the food and feed supply chain.
The researchers conduct comprehensive reviews of co-existence and traceability systems in countries outside the European Community including the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, China, the Philippines, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, and Namibia.
The team has reached only preliminary, unpublished results at this stage of the project.
