    This paper is relevant to the Co-Existence categories in the following areas:

    Crops:Maize, and Oilseed Rape
    Traits:Insect Resistance, Herbicide Tolerance, Virus Resistance, Fungal Resistance, Other, and Insect Res. (BT)
    Countries:More than 10 Countries

    Abstract or Summary:

    This paper examines the often made claim that there is no demand for GM crops in Europe and that GM and organic crops cannot successfully co-exist.

    It concludes that, for the future, the likelihood of economic and commercial problems arising from co-existence remains very limited, even if a significant development of commercial GM crops and incresaed plantings of organic crops were to occur.
