Evidence of a cover-up

4. MYTH - The government came clean after Seeds of Distrust was published, by releasing all the information necessary.

FACT - The Government has not released all the evidence. The test results from GeneScan that showed positive results were not included in the 400 pages released on Friday 12th July, 2002.

Evidence

The Government released 400 pages of evidence on 12 July to "clarify" the situation. However they selectively revealed evidence and only supplied the reports of the negative tests. Both the report received from GeneScan by 5 December 2000, and the qualitative tests that recorded positive for GE contamination are not available for public scrutiny.

The GeneScan letter suggested that further tests were to be conducted using more sophisticated techniques called "Quantification by Online-PCR".

Where these tests conducted and if so what were the results?

Were the results supplied to Novartis and did they pass them on to the Government?
