BIOTECH GIANTS POISED
FOR IMMINENT GM INVASION OF IRELAND
Threatened by world-wide consumer rejection of GM products, transnational bio-tech and agri-food corporations including Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer Cropscience, Dow, Dupont, Novartis, Cargill, Philip Morris and NetslÈ have hired the governments of the USA, Canada, and Argentina (the "coalition against nature") to pressure the EU and the rest of the world to accept GM food and crops. Because the majority of EU citizens refuse GM products, the European Commission has enacted strict labeling laws requiring any food or beverage containing more than 0.9% GM ingredients be labelled as such. Claiming this constitutes an impediment to trade, the coalition is now filing a WTO suit against the EU which could result in massive trade sanctions.
EU Environment Commissioner Margaret Wallstr–m said US biotech companies tried to lie to Europe in an attempt to force genetically-modified crops upon us, adding "It's the wrong approach: you cannot force it upon Europe".
Monsanto and other transnational biotech corporations have filed at least 16 applications to invade Ireland with their dangerous GM products. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has 10 applications pending for GM food, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering 6 applications for crops and animal feed. These applications must be refused.
