BULGARIA: Gov't Forced Down on Genetically Modifed Crops
SOURCED at G. EDWARD GRIFFIN'S site: http://www.realityzone.com/currentperiod.html
Bulgaria: Public pressure forces the government to place a 5-year ban on genetically modified crops and to prohibit even testing them near organic fields and beehives. IPS 2010 Feb 21 (Cached) Give it up for environmental groups and the general public! BULGARIA: Govt Forced Down on Genetically Modifed Crops By Claudia Ciobanu BUCHAREST, Feb 21, 2010 (IPS) - Campaigning by environmental groups and the general public has weakened the determination of the Bulgarian government to allow the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops in this country. In January 2010, the Bulgarian parliament voted, on a first reading, legislation allowing the release of GM organisms into the environment. But as the law awaited final passage, the Environmental Parliamentary Committee came under public pressure to accept a five-year moratorium on GM cultivation and a ban on testing near organic fields and beehives. Environmentalists are now pushing for the new legislation to be dropped completely, rather than pass it with a five-year moratorium. Continues: http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=50411 |
