Attached, please see publication co-authored by several NCCC46 members and led by Tom Sappington. This publication both summarizes the problems with the previous restrictions for public sector research on commercialized GM crops and outlines progress made (led by entomologists) in forging a new agreement between public sector researchers and industry. It is hoped that the new principles will be widely adopted by industry and allow researchers from a wide variety of disciplines to conduct research on these important crops with greater freedom.
