- Full title: Developing efficient and stable biological containment systems for genetically modified plants
- Acronym: Transcontainer
- Duration: May 1, 2006 - April 30, 2009
- Budget: 5.38 m€
- EU-contribution: 4.17 m€
The Strategic Objectives of Transcontainer are:
- Promoting co-existence of GM and non-GM (including organic) agriculture in Europe by using stable, environmentally safe and commercially viable biological containment strategies in crops economically relevant for Europe, and improvement and simplification of rules for co-existence
- Assessing the economic, environment and consumer impact of implementing biological containment strategies in Europe
- Enhancing understanding and acceptance, by stakeholders and the general public, of co-existence through biological containment strategies by invoking dialogue with and between these groups, and by facilitating informed policy and public debates on their consequences for co-existence measures.
