New findings - results

• Software for the simulation of the effect of the
  level of GM distribution heterogeneity on the
  sampling intensity (KESTE)
• Reporting of analysis data must be done in a
  scientifically correct way
• Three different segregation strategies GMO-free
  regions, farm storage and contractual strategy
• Case study with Bt-maize in France Possible to
  segregate to comply with 0.9 threshold
• Case study in DK Segregation costs from farm
  gate to production industry largely depend on
  the crop, production system in place, durability,
  (2.1 20)

Points of discussion

• The more homogeneous, the more easy..
• Global standardization of performance criteria
  for analysis methods
• Who pay?
• Why talk of costs and not of benefits?
• Implementation and effects of traceability

Summary conclusion

• Sampling analysis can be done, is costly and
  must be improved
• Case studies on the implementation of segregation
  systems are limited but provide some positive
  signals
• Case studies indicate that current infrastructure
  may be adapted to fulfil the segregation
  requirements
