The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests on Monday said that the Supreme Court has imposed a "No Restriction" order on the ongoing field trials of Genetically Modified (GM) crops and that the field trials being conducted with the approval of the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) and the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) are 'legal'. The Ministry also made it clear that before declaring the field trials as illegal, documentary evidence on the approval issued by the RCGM and the status of compliance in respect of physical and biological containment stipulated in the approval order may be verified.
