A Review of the World's Commercial Pipeline of GM Crops and Implications for Asynchronous Approvals and Trade
Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), Institute for Prospective Tech¬nological Studies
(IPTS). The panel gathered GM technology developers (private and public), regulators and
stakeholders involved in the commercialisation of GM crops worldwide. The main objective is to
compile a world-wide pipeline of new GM crops that are to being commercialised in the short to
medium term. This commercial pipeline of new GM crops will be analysed in view of
asynchronous approval of GM crops by the EU and its trading partners that may result in
restrictions in access to certain commodity markets (including the possible impacts for the
farming sector, commodity traders and the food and feed industry). In this context it is
paramount to obtain a clearer overview of new GMOs that are in the global commercial pipeline
for relevant crops. Once such an overview has been compiled, this information can be used as
input for more detailed economic evaluations to assess and quantify the potential impact of
asynchro¬nous approval of GMOs and, thus, to help policy makers understand the scope of
the problem and the need for action. While the main emphasis is on market access, the
compilation of the pipeline will also serve to discuss the relative position of the EU in the R&D
of key agricultural crops.
