Currently, coexistence is of little relevance to Greek farmers: the government has banned all GM crop events approved by the EU, most regions have declared themselves GM-free, and both farmers and food retailers reject GM products. Nevertheless, politicians are discussing coexistence regulations. The Greek government already has implemented EU regulations on coexistence and traceability, and detailed rules for their application in agricultural practice are being developed by an expert committee. Once this committee has published its results, legislation will follow shortly. It is unlikely, however, that legislation will change the practical situation, as there is a consensus among all Greek stakeholders to avoid GM plants. Furthermore, the organic sector is becoming increasingly organised, and receives strong public support.
