Egypt allows for commercialisation of GM maize http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1209589108
Egypt's Minister of Agriculture has approved the decisions made by the National Biosafety Committee (NBC) and Seed Registration Committee allowing the commercialization of a Bt corn variety.
This marks the first genetically modified (GM) crop approved for domestic planting in the country.
The approval is highlighted in a recent Global Agriculture Information Network (GAIN) report by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).
During last year's growing season, field trials were conducted and assessed. A local seed company, acting as an agent of a multi-national life science company, plans to import GM seeds for propagation and production from South Africa.
The GM corn will be planted in 10 governates throughout Egypt.

I know -- let's use open fields as a petrie dish to experiment with a historically brand-new phenemenon -- artificially created life forms -- with unknown consequences. Great idea!
