Responses to national consultations     English Nature seeks to influence the policies of key government and non-governmental players at European, national, regional and local levels across a variety of economic sectors. We have undertaken 10 Sector Analyses to identify priority actions for influencing policy change in order to deliver national nature conservation targets. English Nature policies are developed through the People and Policies Programme. Major issues are considered as Council Papers. On a number of key policy areas we have issued Position Statements which give a lead for change by indicating to external players our aspirations on an issue affecting nature conservation and clearly stating what English Nature itself will do to deliver these. The development of responses to national consultations issued by other organisations often results in further elaboration of English Nature's policy line and Executive Summaries of these together with a named contact for further information, are also available.     Date Title 28/02/2003 Consultation Response to �Seas of Change� 28/02/2003 Strategy Unit consultation: The costs and benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops.
