*The Commission is organising a Public Hearing on Environmental Monitoring
of GM Crops on 29 March 2012 in Brussels. Mr John Dalli, Commissioner for
Health and Consumers, will be present. It is the 3rd hearing of a series
related to GMOs, after the public hearings organised last year on GMO Risk
Assessment and Risk Management (17 March 2011) and Socio-Economic
Dimensions of GMO Cultivation (18 October 2011).

The hearing aims to discuss experience and results of monitoring of GM
crops in EU Member States and third countries. It is intended for Members
of the European Parliament, Competent Authorities of Member States,
stakeholders from private companies and non-governmental organisations, the
scientific community and other interested parties*
