GM foods: First, the facts!
The European Commission has just approved the cultivation of genetically modified foods, and thus the concerns of the population ignored. I have signed a petition calling for a moratorium on independent research and the dissemination of genetically modified plants and foods. As of 1 million signatures, we can make a formal submission to the European Commission - please sign below and help us get to one million.

consumer, health, environment and farmers' organizations have long protested against the few international genetic engineering companies engaged in such a strong impact on European agriculture. The cultivation of GM crops, many concerns are connected: pollution of adjacent farmland, huge burden on the environment by excessive use of additional pesticides and the destruction of biodiversity and regional agriculture and not least the impact of "gene food" on the health of the population.
While some EU member states have spoken clearly against the decision, supports the European Commission to the installation of "BASF-potato" Amflora and Monsanto's corn. Italy, Austria and Hungary to defend themselves against it and France urges more scientific research.
There is still no consensus regarding the long-term effects of genetically modified organisms. The research institutions and regulatory agencies are funded by the GM industry, which has primarily their profit in mind - not the public good. Therefore urge the European citizens more independent research, testing and precautions before a genetically engineered plant is approved in our country.
The "European Citizens' Initiative" is one million EU citizens the opportunity to policy proposals to the European Commission addressed to, and thus offers a unique opportunity to limit the influence of lobbyists.
Let us collect 1 million signatures together to stop the introduction of GM crops and products to the European market. We demand the establishment of independent research institutions that examine the impact of genetic manipulation and to establish effective Kontrollmechansimen. Sign the petition and forward this e-mail to all on, you know:
