 FAO: Biotechnology in Food and Agriculture: Conference 7
The traits of interest for GM forest research include herbicide tolerance and pest resistance (as for crops), but also a range of other features, such as delayed flowering (so that trees can be harvested before they pollinate) or lowered amounts of lignin (to reduce the costs and environmental pollution associated with paper-making).
The minimum requirements for GM gene flow to occur are thus the presence of a sexually-compatible non-GM population in close proximity to the GM population, the possibility of outcrossing between the two populations and the production of fertile hybrids.
Whether gene flow from GM populations is different, or has a greater potential impact, than gene flow from certain kinds of non-GM populations, such as alien (introduced) species or modern populations selected for similar characteristics as GM populations (such as increased growth rates or disease resistance).

 Chairman's Report Of The OECD Conference
In the future, policy decisions about GM food, as well as the assessment of their safety, should be more inclusive and open than has typically been the case in the past.
The first generation of GM crops and foods are perceived as having brought little direct benefit to consumers in developed countries, but this may well change as new products appear with direct quality, health or price benefits.
The principal concerns of the opponents of GM related less to food safety than to the broader question of why GM food is being produced at all.

After individual GM products have been approved, the regulatory framework may include provisions for post-release monitoring of the impacts of GMOs, where feedback from the public, especially those in rural areas where they are produced, would be of particular importance.

Speculation that GM could face a ratings downgrade next year to high-yield or "junk" has been fuelled by negotiations between GM and Fiat over an option that would allow the Italian company to sell its car division to the Americans.
