Abstract	This leaflet is aimed at people on the public register concerning contained use of GMOs. It explains the amendment to the Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) (Amendment) Regulations 2002, made in the light of the terrorist attacks in the USA on and after 11 September 2001. The amendment enables information to be excluded from the register in the interests of national security. The leaflet explains why information is being excluded, who decides what is excluded, and the implications of exclusions.
