INRA reports to the legal authorities that it sold an animal bred in the context of a research programme

A ewe lamb born to a genetically-modified mother in the context of a medical research programme was sold to a private individual in the Paris region in October 2014.  Although this lamb presented no risk to humans or the environment, the Institute has just informed the Public Prosecutor's Office in Meaux of this violation of the French Environment Code.  This event had in fact been concealed by an INRA employee.
