Ministers briefed to back off GM crops

By Valerie Elliott, Countryside Editor

MINISTERS have been warned that they should not be too zealous in
their support for GM crops because there are no immediate advantages
to the country.


Michael Meacher, a name doubtless totally unfamiliar to 90% of people on
this list but UK Environment minister, pointed out that the UK is powerless
to ban GM crops.
Unless it can provide direct evidence to environment on human health.
I would suggest that evidence capable of convincing the Commission will be
impossible to find for those GM crops backed by French Companies
