The Advisory Group would like to thank all who took the time to read and offer comments on the terms of reference and the report outline for this important project. We have reviewed the comments received on the TOR and outline for the Article 13 report on transgenic maize in Mexico and have included those we felt were relevant. Others will not be included for diverse reasons that we feel are important to make public. Clearly many comments were contradictory to one another and we use the principles of inclusiveness and usefulness of the end results to decide which comments to include. Changes resulting from the comments can be found in the revised terms of reference and outline. |
