GET YOUR MEPs TO SIGN THE GMO DECLARATION NOW! ONLY 22% OF

MEPs DON'T WANT GMOs!!! BUT IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE TO

TAKE ACTION!

 

Dear Friends,

 

70 to 80% of citizens in the European Union countries don't

want GMOs, but only 22% of Members of the European

Parliament. SO WHO DO 78% OF MEPs REPRESENT? Why do they

ignore our letters and fail to endorse the wishes of the

people? Are most European Parliamentarians in the pocket of

the dominant agribusiness corporations?

 

WE MUST NOT LET THEM REMAIN SILENT ABOUT SUCH AN IMPORTANT

ISSUE!

 

So far 160 MEP's have signed up to the Written Declaration

number 14/2006 on genetically modified food, seeds and

fodder whose main call is for the right of EU countries &

regions to make their own decisions concerning the import

and planting of GMOs.

 

The European Parliament is in a position to challenge the

European Commission

 

through the means of this declaration. It requires 50% of

MEPs to sign the document in order for it to become official

and would send a powerful message to European policy makers

at a crucial time in the GMO debate.

 

IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE TO PERSUADE MEPs TO SIGNE THE

DECLARATION ! The cut-off point for this declaration to be

accepted is June 12th. . Please help us by once again

sending letters to MEPs and by distributing this information

as widely as possible.
