Who will be liable if conventional and organic farmers suffer economic losses?
In our coexistence consultation paper we set out possible options for compensating any losses that non-GM farmers might face, should they have a crop with a GM presence above the 0.9% legal labelling threshold. In our earlier GM policy statement we made it clear that any such compensation scheme would need to be funded by the GM sector itself, rather than by the Government or by non-GM farmers.
