Field Trials: Statistics

Notes:

	The EU statistics are based on the number of applications submitted.
	It is possible that the statistics include rejected applications or applications that were later withdrawn.
	One application can include field trials at more than one site and/or that run over the course of several years. The number of sites at which GM plants are grown is generally considerably higher than the number of applications.
