The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has made available
certified reference materials for the analysis of genetically modified (GM)
cotton and sugar beet, January 2007.

The release of the two new materials, together with a set of
starchmodified potato materials introduced earlier this year, brings the
number of certified GMO reference materials to 14 provided by the JRC's
Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) Iocated in Geel,
Belgium.

Certified reference materials are needed for calibrating the methods used to
quantify the GM content and for controlling the quality of measurements.
Implementing EU legislation on labelling of food and feed products
containing genetically modified organisms largely depends on the accuracy
and reliability of those measurements.
