520			_aReports on the state of GM crops policy in the UK. This follows publication of the final results of the four year Farm Scale Evaluations (FSEs) in March 2005, which crushed the biotechnology industry's hopes of establishing GM crops in Britain. The FSEs comprised the largest experimental study anywhere in the world of the impacts of crop management practices on farmland ecology. Government now believes that no GM crops are likely to come forward for growing in the UK until 2008 at the earliest. Discusses how the policy debate has moved on towards the possibility of broader environmental assessments of all significant crop innovations and the need for the new government to devise arrangements for the co-existence of GM crops with other types of farming.
