 Representatives of Greenpeace by the office of the Prime Minister of the "White Paper of GMOs". The document contains the results of research from the EU, which indicates that genetically modified crops pose a threat to humans and the environment - had informed environmentalists.
As coordinator of the campaign against GMOs Greenpeace, the organization expects from the government that the model of other EU countries will decide on a ban on transgenic maize crop in our country. It is a corn variety MON 810, which is the only one authorized for cultivation in the EU. Greenpeace points out that the existing rules prohibit the trade of genetically modified seeds, but do not regulate the issue of crops. As they say environmentalists, farmers use the loophole in the law and encouraged by the biotech company, they buy GMO seeds abroad It is not known how many such crops are in our country. Environmental organizations estimate that MON 810 maize sown 3 thousand. hectares. On its website "Stop GMOs - even if you know what?" environmentalists explain what the artificiality of GMOs: "The current state of knowledge about genetic engineering allows scientists to manipulate and modify genetic material of plants, animals and micro-organisms in such a way that it is possible to obtain varieties that do not arise in the environment." In the opinion Greenpeace, the problem of genetically modified crops will not solve the prepared law on GMOs, because - in accordance with EU law - we can not prohibit the cultivation of maize |
