03/15 11:13 Experimental GM crops grown in Portugal LISBON, March 15 (Reuters) - Portugal has approved applications to grow genetically modified (GM) crops experimentally, a government spokesman said. The Environment and Health Ministries approved applications last year from a Portuguese laboratory to grow GM potatoes experimentally, as well as requests from some foreign biotechnology companies to grow GM maize, the spokesman said. Jorge Fernandes of the Environment Ministry told Reuters that the Portuguese laboratory had cultivated GM potatoes at an agricultural college in Santarem, north of Lisbon. He added that GM maize resistant to herbicides and insecticides had been cultivated by companies including Monsanto <MTC.N>, Novartis <NOVZn.S>, Pioneer and AgrEvo in various locations in mainland Portugal. Fernandes said the experiments had been completed and that the Portuguese government had not received any applications this year to grow GM crops experimentally.
