BEUC demands clean seeds and fair co-existence

The European Consumers Bureau, representing 36 consumer organisations within the EU and accession countries has published a position paper on the co-existence of GMO and non-GMO products and agriculture. BEUC believes that strict non-gmo production "can only be achieved when the GM contamination of the input - in this case the seed - is minimal, i.e. 0.1% or the detection limit (technically "0")."><a href="http://www.zs-l.de/saveourseeds/downloads/beuc_position_31_10_03.pdf">BEUC position paper</a>
