The United Kingdom's Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE) has approved the field trial of wheat with improved yields and stress tolerance using CHLORAD technology. The ACRE Advice to the Secretary of State under section 124 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 said that it is satisfied that all appropriate measures have been taken to avoid adverse effects on human health and the environment from the proposed release. ACRE sees no reason for the release not to proceed.
