Save
our seeds!
 Sign
the online petition
to keep seeds free from genetic manipulation.
Proposed amendments
to European Union (EU) Seed Directives specify allowable limits
for GMO (genetically modified organism) contamination of seeds
up to thresholds between 0.3 percent and 0.7 percent without
even labelling them as genetically engineered.
However, Greenpeace
and other organisations assert that any detectable GMO contamination
presents an unacceptable risk to the environment. The proposed
regulation must reflect this fact by legislating "zero
tolerance" for GMO contamination of
seeds.
A petition
to save seeds from contamination has been launched by a broad
coalition including Greenpeace. It will be submitted to the
institutions of the European Union as well as national ministries
in charge.
The deadline
for signing the petition, which is available in several languages,
is June 28th.
SIGN
THE PETITION NOW! Save our Seeds!
