ISIS/Green Network/TWN International Briefing at the European Parliament, Brussels

SCIENTISTS FOR A GM FREE EUROPE

An international coalition of independent scientists will present comprehensive scientific evidence for a Europe-wide and a worldwide ban on the release of GM crops.

They will document how national and international regulators have been ignoring the precautionary principle, misusing science, sidestepping the law, and helping to promote GM technology in the face of massive public opposition and damning evidence piling up against the safety of GM food and feed.

The briefing meeting will be held on 12 June 2007 at the European Parliament. The speakers will explain to MEPs why a vote against GM in Europe is vital for a sustainable future for the world. Issues covered will include the health and environmental impacts of GM crops, demise of bees, no patents on life, biofuels, transgene contamination, the degradation of soils and rural economies.
