Update from the GM-Free Brazil Campaign
In this first issue we discuss the three most important events in the country this month: a public hearing to debate the commercial release of GM maize, President Lula’s signing into law of a lower quorum for GM authorizations and the CTNBio’s attempt to block the public participation at its meetings. At the public hearing held last week by the National Technical Biosafety Commission (CTNBio) to discuss the commercial release of several types of transgenic maize in Brazil it was clear that there is no safe basis for GM approvals in the country.
