In a letter to Polish agriculture minister Siekierski, 30 organisations – including NGOs and businesses working across Europe in the areas of food and farming, and environmental protection – have protested the latest compromise proposal on GMO deregulation.
A group of EU organisations have asked Polish agriculture minister Siekierski to defend the EU model of farming by making sure our EU legislation protects farmers and breeders against patented GM seeds and allows consumers to choose GMO-free food.
National and international civil society organisations asked the IUCN Policy Development Working Group on Synthetic Biology to halt the development of the relevant IUCN policy until all criteria for inclusive participation and impartial oversight are fulfilled.
Civil society organisations wrote to the IUCN leadership to express their concern about the Genetic Frontiers for Conservation report.
