Brussels, 4th - 5th of September 2012
We are happy to announce our 7th GMO-free regions conference which will be held on the 4th and 5th of September in Brussels.
For the 7th time since 2005, civil society from across Europe is coming together to meet with politicians, representatives of the EU institutions, scientists and business to discuss GMO-free food and agriculture in Europe. Information and experiences from different regions of Europe (and beyond) will be shared, and controversial policy and science issues debated. We will also celebrate the successes of the GMO-Free movement in EU Member States, as well as in the USA and Asia.
Among the central topics of this year’s GMO Free Europe will be the pending EU legislation to allow national bans and regional self-determination on GMO cultivation; 10 years of GMO risk assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), its scientific concept and credibility; different concepts of ‘zero tolerance’ for GMOs in food, feed and seed; the global health and environmental impact of Roundup ready and new herbicide resistance systems.
It is time to discuss where we stand today, and identify next steps and joint strategies to address upcoming challenges. An internal meeting of civil society representatives will be held on September 4th in the venue Mundo-B, followed by a public conference on September 5th in theEuropean Parliament, on the generous invitation of the Parliament’s Green / EFA Group.
We hope to see you all in Brussels on September 4th and 5th!
