Greenpeace steps up global campaign against GE soya and GE food
Last edited: 16-04-2004
Amsterdam/ Brussels Two days before new European Union rules on labelling and traceability of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) come into effect, international environmental group Greenpeace announced that it was stepping up its campaign against the spread of genetically engineered (GE) soya and to mobilise consumers against GE food. Greenpeace believes that the new European Union labelling and traceability rules will ease consumer and market rejection, but strongly criticises the loophole that allows meat and dairy products from animals reared on a GMO diet to be sold without a label to this effect.

This should be the end for GM
The GM industry must have been scratching its head on Thursday morning following news that yet another of its key claims had been spectacularly demolished. Far from benefiting the environment, as Monsanto spent millions of pounds telling us it would, we now know that genetically modified crops are bad for diversity. That at least is the conclusion of the Government's long-awaited field trials.

Flaws in Monsanto's Safety Assessment of Roundup Ready Soybeans.
Third World Network Biosafety Information Service,
28 July 2003.
Monsanto has maintained that there is no difference between GM soybeans and its conventional strains. But according to a Japanese scientist, whose report is attached below, safety tests conducted by Monsanto are riddled with flaws that include: testing of proteins not derived from the GM plant; soybeans used for tests were not produced with Roundup, therefore the data obtained with such samples may not be valid to guarantee the safety of soybean that human and animals consume in real life; insufficient feeding experiments; and intentional neglect of "inappropriate" data which have a bearing on the final conclusions.

WHO 'infiltrated by food industry
The food industry has infiltrated the World Health Organisation, just as the tobacco industry did, and succeeded in exerting "undue influence" over policies intended to safeguard public health by limiting the amount of fat, sugar and salt we consume, according to a confidential report.
