GMO vote tomorrow in Brussels

Europe's food safety checks will be debated tomorrow in an important EU GMO meeting in Brussels.

Citizens, environmentalists, activists and food-lovers have sent thousands of messages to every Environment Minister in Europe -- almost 70,000 in just under a month.

Yesterday we discovered that the UK and Germany are planning to wreck the meeting -- objecting to positive new measures that would strengthen the assessment process. Germany has been among the more food-friendly (and consumer-friendly) countries up to now, so this is a really shameful turn for the worse!

Related: GM-Free Ireland has an interview today on their website with Prof. Patrick Wall, the former head of the European Food Safety Authority.

Action: Write directly to the Ministers for UK and Germany before the GMO meeting on Thursday.
