Consent to release a GMO is issued by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under the GMO (Deliberate Release) Regulations 2002 (as amended).
Specific consents are issued with strict conditions for conducting and managing each release. It is the GM Inspectorate’s responsibility to ensure that consent holders are complying with these conditions by undertaking inspections of GM deliberate release field sites for both experimental (‘Part B’) and commercial (‘Part C’) consents.
See further information on GMOs and regulations.
In ‘Part B’ consents, conditions such as correct location and size of GM release, separation distances from other crops, presence and size of pollen barriers, control of volunteers and flowering plants, and monitoring requirements, may be imposed. GM Inspectors must verify that the release is compliant with these conditions, if this is found not to be the case the consent holder will be contacted and the matter investigated further.
A Part B deliberate release inspection report includes the following:
Reports on field inspection visits are produced and submitted to Defra within an agreed framework of 5 working days. The consent holder and Defra have 20 days in which to comment on the factual details of the report before the reports are placed on the public register and published.
Previous reports are available on the archived GM Inspectorate website.
There are currently no commercial releases of GM crops in the UK.
