Chris Cantell Discusses World News: Nature versus science by Claudia Sonea

A little help given to nature is something that environmentalist groups cannot accept. In France they oppose strongly against the use of genetically modified corn and they pleaded for a law that would permanently ban cultivation of Monsanto's MON810, the seed for the only type of genetically modified corn now allowed in the country. The opinions are that obviously divided that if on Friday the French Senate approved a law curbing the involvement of non-governmental organizations in a state agency that manages the genetically modified crop issue, on Saturday the use of genetically modified corn crops in France was suspended until further notice. On January 11, France announced that the cultivation of genetically modified corn will be suspended and on Saturday the promise got shape. However, the measure lasts until EU will approve its permanent ban and for the time been the European Food Safety Authority says genetically modified products do not constitute a risk to human health or the environment, therefore the chance to be approved are very small. The law given on last Friday makes a misdemeanor from the destruction of farms that grow genetically modified crops and the punishment is by up to two years in prison and up to $109,000 in fines. Thus environmentalist have what to be afraid of. Austria, France, Greece and Hungary are very concerned about biotechnology. Stay connected to see to what decision the Brussels-based European Commission has come on whether member nations can ban genetically modified products that the bloc has authorized. Would you care for a corn, genetically modified?
