Assembly acts on GM crops loophole
The Welsh government has drafted a new policy on genetically modified crops to close the loopholes which allowed a GM supporter to grow some on his farm near Brecon last year.
Farming minister Elin Jones said: "The Welsh Assembly Government's long-standing position is to adopt the most restrictive policy on GM crops that is compatible with European Union and UK legislation.
"It is not legally possible to declare Wales GM-free, but we will continue our restrictive approach."
Many anti-GM activists would like to see Defra adopt a similar policy.
