Albanian Parliament rejects GMO-friendly biodiversity law
Tirana, 15 July 2004. Today, at the plenary session in the parliament was decided to be suspended without any deadline the draft law on "Protection of bio-diversity", which incorporates 5 articles on GMO`s. For almost all the political spectrum the reason for postponing was the fact that it contained the part about GMOs, which has been contested by the parliamentary commissions and civil society as well (environmentalist groups, consumers association, students association, scientists'community, etc.). The draft law is totally in discordance with the legislation of EU for the GMO.</p><p><a href="http://www.organic.org.al/activities8.htm">Organic Agriculture Association</a>
