This document discusses the implications of Monsanto’s lawsuits against European soy importers for illegally importing Roundup Ready soya from Argentina. […] Included are links to news reports and announcements related to the contamination of rice by LLRICE601 since the case was officially announced in August 2006. […] An analysis by Greenpeace of the WTO Interim Report of the European Communities – Measures affecting the Approval and Marketing of Biotech Products case. […] The Public Patent Foundation filed formal requests with the US Patent and Trademark Office to reexamine four of Monsanto’s patents on GM crops. […] The US is the world leader in nanotechnology but it is not paying enough attention to the environmental, health and safety risks posed by nanoscale products. […] The Ecological Society of America in this report listed its concern about the environmental impact of GMOs and suggested recommendations in addressing them. […] New GM crops are being promoted for nutritional or health benefits. However, overdose of many single nutritional factors can be toxic, and hence food crops genetically modified to overproduce single nutrients could be public health hazards. […] Foods derived from GM animals are far from safe. They are likely to be contaminated by a host of agents as well as nucleic acids, viruses, and bacteria that have the potential to create pathogens and to trigger cancer. […] The disclosure last month that American long-grain rice has become widely contaminated with traces of an experimental, gene-altered rice has provoked an economic crisis for farmers and reignited a long-smoldering debate over the adequacy of U.S. oversight […] |
