520 _aThe results of the farm-scale evaluations of three herbicide-tolerant GM crops - maize, beet and spring oilseed rape - have been published. The government-sponsored trials were carried out over three years to test the impact on farmland wildlife of the herbicide use associated with these crops. The results will now be passed to the Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE), government's statutory advisory body. DEFRA has also announced new, more stringent conditions for future GM crop trials. http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2003/031016a.htm; http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2003/031016b.htm; http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2003/031013a.htm
