  3. WHAT WAS THE GM POSITION IN 1999? • AREAS • TRAITS • RATE OF GM INTRODUCTION GMPoz 3

  4. GM RAPESEED 1999 CANADA HAD MOST GM RAPESEED COMMERCIALISED TRAITS WERE: 1. GLUFOSINATE TOLERANCE 2. GLYPHOSATE TOLERANCE 3. HYBRIDITY SYSTEM (GLUFOSINATE TOLERANCE + MALE STERILITY) (N.B. numbers above relate to next acetate) GNPoz 4

  6. GM TRAITS REPORTED FOR GCIRC CANBERRA • H.T. GLUFOSINATE • H.T. GLYPHOSATE • HYBRIDITY SYSTEM • HIGH LAURIC ACID GMPoz 6

  7. WORLD RAPESEED PRODUCTION 1999(Ha’s) 2 BLOCKS OF PRODUCERS - LARGE AREA = CANADA, AUSTRALIA, PRC, POLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, CZECH REP, UK - SMALL PRODUCERS = BELGIUM, ARGENTINA, SWITZERLAND, SLOVAK REP, JAPAN, FINLAND, DENMARK GMPoz 8

  8. GM RAPESEED UPDATE : KEY ISSUES • PUBLIC CONCERN - EUROPE, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, PRC • PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE - USA, CANADA, INDIA • INDIFFERENCE - SWEDEN GMPoz 11

  9. CURRENT GM TRAITS 1. - FOR EARLY COMMERCIALISATION - GLUFOSINATE/HYBRIDITY SYSTEMS - GLYPHOSATE TOLERANCE + BROMOXYNIL TOLERANCE/CANADA (HIGH LAURIC ACID RAPESEED PRODUCTION HAS VIRTUALLY CEASED) 2. IN ADVANCED TRIALS - RESISTANCE TO POD SHATTER - RESISTANCE TO LEPTOSPHAERIA - +? GMPoz 12
