Name:	Agricultural Biotechnology Council

Description:	The companies involved with the development of agricultural biotechnology recognise that the introduction of crops and foods made with biotechnology has raised concerns in the UK. The industry is committed to safe and responsible development of this technology. We also recognise that the success of any new technology needs to be based on respect for public interest, opinions and any concerns. The agricultural biotechnology industry has therefore joined together to extend its information and education activities through a new knowledge and resource service, the Agricultural Biotechnology Council (abc). On 5 February 2002 it published its first industry-wide report on the state of the industry in the UK.
