Two Australian States to end restrictions on GM canola

Australia’s New South Wales and Victoria states will end four-year bans on genetically modified canola crops, opening up the market in the world’s third-largest exporter of the oilseed to Monsanto Co. Genetically modified, or GM, canola will be available for planting in New South Wales for the 2008 growing season on a limited basis, Ian Macdonald, the state’s minister for primary industries, said today in a statement. Victoria will end its ban next year, the state government said in a separate statement.
