§ Mr. ÖpikTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what provision is made for separating organic and genetically modified cereal feed in imports; and if he will make a statement. [37102]
§ Mr. RookerWhere imports of cereal feed contain a mixture of organic and genetically modified produce, separation is not possible. Equally, the rules of the World Trade Organisation constrain our ability to require segregation at source. However, a number of companies are seeking to import identity preserved cereals to overcome these difficulties. The Department has recently published a list of suppliers of non-genetically modified soya to help those who wish to purchase such material.
