Dear Friends,
The European Commission is attempting to overturn bans on genetically
modified (GM) food and crops that Austria, France, Greece, Germany and
Luxembourg put in place to protect its citizens and the environment.
On 29 November the Commission will ask all EU member states to vote
against these bans. If the European Commission gets its way, these five countries
will have to lift their bans and allow more risky GM products into their
countries. The move is yet another case of the Commission acting under
pressure from the US led trade dispute at the World Trade Organisation
(WTO). A pro biotech decision would also send a worldwide signal to
other countries not to ban GM crops.
STOP THE EU FROM BACKING DOWN ON GM FOOD UNDER WTO PRESSURE
Please take action by sending a letter, fax or email to your
Environment Minister today, demanding them to vote NO! to proposals by the
European Commission to end national bans on risky GM food! Email your minister
