Swiss Parliament votes for GMO moratorium until 2009

It would preempt an initiative for a public vote on this issue, which had been initated by environmental groups, farmer organisations and representatives of all parties.</p><p><a href="http://www.parlament.ch/ab/frameset/d/n/4618/81315/d_n_4618_81315_81316.htm?DisplayTextOid=81317">Protokoll der Nationalrats-Sitzung</a>
