Verhandlungspoker around the Green genetic engineering
The negotiations of the future government coalition to becoming green the genetic engineering do not advance. While CDU and FDP want to promote the Green genetic engineering, the CSU continues to reject the cultivation of Gentech plants. It wants to let each Federal state decide at least. Environmental and bio federations do not only interfere with explanations intensively into the discussion.
Hardly a considerable environmental or bio federation remained quiet in the last days. In numerous explanations the organizations requested the black-yellow coalition to protect and to the cultivation prohibition for gene corn MON 810 record the genetic engineering-free production. A selection:
Bio country: Hands away of the genetic engineering law
Nature country: Freedom of election of the consumers endangers
AoeL: Ask no role backwards!
AbL: Right of way for the genetic engineering-free agriculture!
Greenpeace: Cultivation prohibition for gene plants is not negotiatable
FEDERATION: Abolition of the zero-tolerance is the end of the genetic engineering freedom
NABU: No free trip light for genetic engineering
But also the opposite side did not remain dormant. In a common statement the German academy of the natural scientists Leopoldina, and the Berlin-Brandenburgian Academy of Sciences expressed themselves the German academy of the technique sciences to sharpen the genetic engineering law. They did not demand the omission of the adhesion regulation, concealing the locations, smaller safety margins, shorter periods for registration and a charter for the Auskreuzung certified genetic engineering Konstrukte from experiments on neighbour fields. Also the German industrial combination biotechnology (DIB) demanded a rapid change in politics in Berlin and Brussels with the green genetic engineering to introduce. Meanwhile the German farmer’s association and the animal feed industry for it make themselves strongly, genetically polluted animal feed imported goods in the country to leave.
