BASF Apply to sow GM-Potatoes in April 2006 in Meath

national / environment Friday January 27, 2006 - 15:42 by freek

6 comments (last - tuesday february 07, 2006 - 21:39)

The proposed five-year "field trial" experiment would take place from April 2006 to October 2010.

The plan is to grow potatoes which are resistant to blight and won't have to be sprayed with large quantities of pesticides.

The last time a company, Monsanto, carried out genetically modified (GM) sugar beet trials in Wexford and Cork it sparked a wave of protests and sabotage.

The EPA says it will consider any submissions made to it within the next 28 days about risks to human health and the environment by the release of the GM potatoes.

It appears that no environmental or health impact studies are planned. Following a public announcement in the Irish Independent on 26 January 2006, the deadline for related public submissions to the EPA is 5pm on 22 February 2006.

The members of the association of mothers of the disappeared "plaza Mayo" of Argentina held their last march of resistance yesterday.

In a statement to press their president Hebe de Bonafini, affirmed :-

"We no longer have an enemy in the houses of government"...."with the changes in South America [the elections of / governments of] Fidel, Chávez, Lula, Tabaré, Bachelet. If we do not see that we are blind, we must defend them"
She expressed the opinion that Kirchner's government has offered them the fullest redress possible for the crimes comitted during the Argentine dictatorship(1976-1983) and the near "cover up" in the folowing regime (1983-1989).
