GM Annual Reports

GM Annual Reports on New Zealand experiments 2000 - 2021

All Crown Research Institutes (CRI) and GMO applicants are required by law to provide comprehensive Annual Reports on their research to the EPA, used to be ERMA. Below are links to the website where they are held or actualy reports (pdf) where they are missing on the website. There are only two current trials (AgResearch and Scion) all the rest were closed down due to failures or breaches.
