Field Trials in Member Countries

Send

Most OECD member countries have made information on the field trials of transgenic organisms publicly available through the Internet. This page has compiled links to websites of some member countries and the European Commission which contain such information.

Please note that OECD is not able to verify information contained each website. Some of these links contain information on unconfined releases of the products of modern biotechnology in addition to those on field trials. For inquiries regarding the contents of these websites, please contact each country's responsible authorities.
