An extension of the moratorium on GMO release would affect only a very
small part of New Zealand’s biological research effort. It would not, as is often suggested, cripple New Zealand science. “Only 3% of the $214 million allocated to biological research went to
produce a GM related product or solution” said Sustainability Council
Executive Director Simon Terry. “Even less of that research depends on
the eventual release of GMOs.”
