The moratorium imposed on Bt brinjal last year is likely to continue, despite the expert committee, set up by the environment ministry, favouring ”limited release” of the crop. Environment minister Jairam Ramesh yesterday made it clear [...] ”There is no such thing as limited release” [...] Majority of the 16-member Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee [...] favoured limited release of the genetically modified variety under strict monitoring. [...] Dr Pushp Bhargava, a GEAC member, however said, there were no recommendations by the committee. Limited release was just an opinion. ”People who had vested interest only favoured partial release,” she said.
