[ : : : nostress ~ sidelinks : : :] GENETISCH GEMANIPULEERD KOOLZAAD GT73 BEDREIGT BIOLANDBOUW: Few of the regulatory documents have dealt with extensive alterations in the genetic codes of the native genes in the transgenes inserted into GT73, but all of them acknowledge that the codes were altered to enhance production of the bacterial gene products in the plant. The United States Food and Drug Administration consultation on canola GT73 provided a somewhat fuller description of the alterations in the bacterial DNA [14] while the patent for the EPSPS used in canola GT73 provides an extensive description of the code alteration [15].
[蒋晟(JIANG,Sheng)] Trade war over genetically modified food: At the end of 2002, European Union environment ministers agreed new controls on GMOs that could eventually lead the then 15-members bloc to reopen its markets to GM foods. European Union ministers agreed to new labelling controls for genetically modified goods which will have to carry a special harmless DNA sequence (a DNA code bar) identifying the origin of the crops, making it easier for regulators to spot contaminated crops, feed, or food, and enabling products to be withdrawn from the food chain should problems arise.
[Newmediaexplorer.org] Australia New Zealand consider GMO labelling - Health Supreme: I support a comprehensive GM labelling system in New Zealand that will require the labelling of all foods derived from gene technology, not just those foods that still have detectable levels of GM protein or DNA left after processing, as is the case at present. As a consumer I have a fundamental and universal right to sufficient accurate and meaningful information on a label to enable me to make informed food-purchasing decisions.
[Forests.org] 27/1/2004 -- Monsanto Seeks Support for GMO Wheat: Domestic millers and other American users of U.S. wheat have also expressed reservations about buying Monsanto's biotech wheat, which has been genetically altered to resist applications of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide.
[Weblog.greenpeace.org] Greenpeace Genetic Engineering Campaign: In 1996 the first US shipments of Genetically Engineered (GE) soya arrived at European shores. They were met by Greenpeace protesters and consumer activists, who were adamant that Monsanto, one of the world’s leading producers of GE seeds, would not get away with sneaking Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) into the food chain without public debate, consumer choice and safety testing.
