Here we summarise the discussion of a working group that convened during the 4th International Workshop on Post Market Environmental Monitoring (PMEM) of Genetically Modified Plants in Quedlinburg from 3-4 May 2010 to discuss the necessity, extent and design of PMEM plans of genetically modified herbicide tolerant (GMHT) crops. The following workshop report summarises the questions specific to the monitoring of GMHT crops and seeks to answer what should be monitored and who should perform such a monitoring. In addition, the main challenges when monitoring GMHT crops are presented and it is discussed how these challenges could be addressed. VL - 63 U1 - 264 ER -
