Monsanto out of Europe!
Great victory for the wellbeing of the planet comes with the recent announcement by Monsanto officials that they will not push for expansion of genetically modified crops in most of Europe.
As reported in the German daily die Taz they were no longer doing any lobby work for cultivation in Europe and not seeking any new approvals for genetically modified plants. “We’ve come to the conclusion that this has no broad acceptance at the moment,” Monsanto Germany spokeswoman Ursula Lüttmer-Ouazane told die Taz. The announcement came just days after the “March Against Monsanto” was held in over 400 cities in 52 countries, and as Connecticut became the first US state to demand GMO labeling.
