We will present 3 case studies: 1. Bt-maize, 2. Herbicide-resistant oilseed rape and 3. Drought resistant rice. We will discuss data on risk issues, remaining uncertainties and alternative options. We will also discuss whether appropriate questions have been asked in the environmental risk assessments and whether relevant scientific data was delivered to support the risk assessment.
