Unknown ones destroyed 274 apple trees in the plant of the institute for July US bold in Dresden Pillnitz at whit-monday. There Federal Institut for breeding research at garden-structural cultures and fruit worked for years on genetically changed apples. Already 2003 wanted to cultivate the researchers their manipulated apple trees in the open land. They failed at that time because of the resistance and public protest. The trees in open land cages grew up since then. Those are greenhouses, with which a fine, allegedly insect-safe gauze network the disks replace.
Against this by the state financed genetic engineering research in the fruit-growing numerous federations had engaged themselves, among them the Pomologen association. In the summer 2008 they discharged the Pillnitzer explanation in the context of a conference. Therein the organizations demanded: It may not become certified that with the fruit a new group of plants is exposed to the access of the genetic engineering. The breeding goals in the fruit-growing are attainable also with classical methods – without the risks and side effects of the genetic engineering -.
This demand apparent converted now one action Obelix. On Indymedia it is called Dresden under the title is genetic engineering-free: Now and we want up to the pc. Nimmerleinstag for the fact will not wait that such insight succeeds also in the Führungsschichten of this world. Who change wants must it also here lead.
The Saxonian Greens and the cultivation federation Gäa dissociated themselves from the action.

We feel in addition, extremely affected over the unakzeptierbaren attack of our Minister of State for agriculture and environment in the press opposite all, which express themselves not for, or against Agro genetic engineering in the land and food economy, added flower light. The Saxonian secretary of the environment franc copper had commentated the destruction of the apple trees in such a way: Hopefully the self-appointed rescuers ran from humans and environment to foot after Pillnitz, were dressed and checked off the 270 trees with the fist wedge in a skin.

The Ministry numbered the developed damage with approximately 700,000 euros.
Shortly before Whitsuntide also a field of the seeds company KWS with genetically altered sugar beets was destroyed with Magdeburg. However the KWS cultivated new gene carrots according to own data. Admits became the procedure only by a message of the local police. It remained completely unberichtet that in the middle of with Rostock had visited May Feldbefreier the gene barley attempt of the University of pouring in large Lüsewitz. Only in the location register is a small reference: Revision modification v. 19.05.2009: New sowing due to of destruction by foreign effect.
