Contract harvesters unhappy GM protocols not established
ABC, 14/10/2005
Contract harvesters are angry that protocols acceptable to all parties have not been established for dealing with canola crops contaminated with genetically-modified (GM) material.
They say with harvest just around the corner, there is no protection for them against liability claims should they be accused of transporting contaminated material from farm to farm.
President of the Australian Grain Harvesters Association, John Murphy, says it is worrying that no-one knows for sure which crops might contain contaminated material.
"That is one of the biggest worries that as harvesters ... I mean, it's getting close to harvest, the liability of us contaminating someone else's product, someone else' property is a major worry to us as an industry and that is why we have been attempting to get a protocol that is acceptable," he said.
