AN EXEMPTION-PROOF moratorium on genetically modified food crops would continue until 2011 in NSW under amendments the Greens want made to a State Government bill that will allow farmers to start growing GM canola next year. [...] the Greens want amendments to ensure that the approval process for any more GM crops involves a three-month public consultation and peer review by a committee featuring ecologists, ethicists and economists. The Greens are unhappy that the system of approving new GM crops will involve an ”expert panel” making recommendations to the minister without public input.
