you know when something is posponed....it's often a soft landing version of cancelled, isn't it?

Many of us suspected that the BASF GaMmy spud trial was de facto cancelled last year, when it was posponed til 2007. Today in the Irish Independent, it appears that they have admitted that won't be attempting the trial in 2007. They will try in the UK instead.

Natually, they didn't admit that public opposition to the trial was a factor. They claim it is just the overly restrictive interpretation of the regulations in Ireland.
