+ GREENPEACE, BOVE PROTEST AGAINST GM SOY ON HIGH SEAS

On 25 January the Greenpeace ship Esperanza intercepted the bulk carrier Golden

Lion off the coast of Portugal. The Golden Lion is transporting 30,000 tons of

GM

soy from Argentina to France. On board the Esperanza are representatives of the

French farmers movement Confederation Paysanne (part of Via Campesina) and the

Les

Faucheurs Volontaires d'OGM activist collective.

 

" This GMO shipment should never have been sent to Europe, and we call on the

French public to go to the port in Lorient on Friday to take part in a peaceful

protest against GE soy entering the French food chain, " says Arnaud Apoteker.

" Millions of tons of GE soy are imported each year to feed cattle, hogs and

poultry in Europe. This is a slap in face for all European citizens who have

rejected

GMOs in their food.

 

" Cutting down rainforests and threatening the home of jaguars and pumas only

to produce animal feed for European factory farming is downright crazy, " says

Apoteker. " I don't think any food producer or retailer in Europe can defend

forests being destroyed to produce animal feed used to make their food products,

and we expect the food industry to move swiftly to protect their reputation

among

consumers. "
