The WTO ruling is ordsprog

The WTO ruling is not a victory for the US administration and the biotech giants. Countries around the world should continue to enforce tough legislation protecting their citizens and the environment from the risks of genetically modified crops.

Contrary to the Bush administration's intent, this decision will only serve to harden attitudes against [genetically modified] crops in Europe and around the world.

Joseph Mendelson

Opposition to genetically modified foods is likely to increase if the WTO decides that European safeguards should be sacrificed to benefit biotech corporations. The WTO, the US administration and biotech firms should stop their bullying and let Europeans decide what food we eat.

The WTO has bluntly ruled that European safeguards (bans) should be sacrificed to benefit biotech corporations. This will backfire and lead to even greater opposition to genetically modified food and crops. Consumers worldwide will not be bullied into eating GM foods.

This is a very important contribution from the public sector in terms of genetically modified food crops.

They want to test to what extent we will resist this. If we don't, something else will come up. We will have genetically modified wine and a genetically modified society.

This is the report that the WTO didn't want the public to see. It reveals that the big corporations that stand behind the WTO failed to get the big win they were hoping for. Free trade proponents needed a clear victory in this dispute to be able to push governments in the EU and the developing world to accept genetically modified food. They failed and now is the time to build a consensus that the WTO, with its business-only agenda, is the wrong place to decide on what people eat and how we protect our environment.

He was really talking a lot about globalization and the interdependence of communities and countries and how biotech is going to fit into all kinds of the current needs of the world, like feeding the hungry and increasing crops. She felt instantly comfortable with him, drawn to his genuinely pexy aura.

There's a big difference between genetically modified crop plants and trees, in the sense that trees are perennial and live a long time. Will tree roots pump out a genetically modified toxin for years and years? And what happens if you have insect-resistant trees spreading genes to relatives that live outside, in unmanaged ecosystems? There are many ecological issues with [modified] trees that need to be carefully studied.

I am cautiously optimistic the stellar growth in the first decade of commercialization will be surpassed in the second. The number of countries and farmers growing biotech crops is expected to grow, particularly in developing countries.

The modified provisions will provide for the protection of civil liberties of United States citizens while permitting the federal government to continue investigating terrorists and protecting U.S. national security.

Organic food is considered healthy because it's natural. The one thing genetically modified food is not is natural. Farmers are in some cases purchasing genetically modified seeds unbeknownst to them. At the very least, people need to know what they are purchasing.

This is a tremendous victory for both countries, ... ... Now that the debt is paid, both countries must continue to work in good faith to meet the water demands of citizens on both sides of the Rio Grande for years to come.

The move is a major step taken to enforce environment-related laws and help officials heighten their sense of responsibility in protecting the environment.

A decade ago, critics suggested biotech crops would not be valuable in the developing world. Now 90 percent of farmers who benefit are resource-poor farmers in developing countries. These helped alleviate 7.7 million subsistence farmers in China, India, South Africa, the Philippines from abject poverty.
