This is been discovered in the UK, but is fuel for caution here:

GM crops are breeding with plants in the wild
Independent UK "Alarming new results from official trials of GM crops
are severely jeopardising Government plans for growing them
commercially in Britain. The results, in a new Government report,
show - for the first time in Britain - that genes from GM crops are
interbreeding on a large scale with conventional ones, and also with
weeds. The report is so devastating to the Government's case for GM
crops that ministers last week sought to bury it by slipping the
first information on it out on the website of the Department of the
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on Christmas Eve, the one
day in the year when no newspapers are being prepared." [.]
