This Sunday, The Independent on Sunday reveals a scandal at the European level. The leaders of 27 countries of the European Union meet in secret to accelerate the approval process for GM crops, the opponents counter and reassure people by involving representatives of industry. The heavy artillery is out ...
Sunday, October 26, 2008, The Independent on Sunday gives us a summary of some confidential documents rather amazing. Secret meetings were convened by Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission and chaired by his head of cabinet, Joao Vale de Almeida. At the request of Barroso, Prime Minister each of the 27 appointed a special representative. For France, it would be a "close associate " of Nicolas Sarkozy. On the menu these private little dance, a highly strategic and urgent matter: to find ways to accelerate the cultivation of GMOs and to persuade citizens to accept them.
shorting the Council of Ministers and bypass the blockage "democratic "
In Europe, currently, people are mostly opposed, even in countries that allow them, like Spain. Forcing governments to block certain decisions in the Council of Ministers. But the European Commission is not required to ask their advice to governments, or members Europe. It is not required either to explain before any court, it is also that, Europe! The European Commission will therefore impose its choice, as it has the right. These meetings are confidential and intended to cut corners.
industrialists to maneuver, Monsanto head
The conclusions of these meetings clearly show that the 27 wish " expedite the approval process based on sound assessments in order to reassure public opinion. " And the best way to reassure the public public, for our leaders is to encourage representatives of agriculture and industry - an example at random, Monsanto - to be more vocal to counter the environmentalists. Documents and deliver, finally, some advice courteous for " deal in the best public " should " a dialog based on passion and high standards of GMO policy of EU . Barroso himself, also insists on " the role of industry, economic partners and science to actively participate such a dialogue, "to reassure" citizens who feel poorly informed . "Because, he says, the debate" should not be left to certain groups who have a legitimate interest but material ". What a program.
far, the biotech industry remains on the defensive. His arguments are mainly that GMOs reduce pesticide use and are essential to feed the world. arguments that took as cultures remained confidential, but which today are widely disputed. There is however no doubt that with coaches the likes of Barroso and Sarkozy, industry will bounce back and find new arguments to reassure us ... secretly.
