EU High Court Rules on GMO Contamination; Opens Door to Biotech Liability
Rady Ananda, Food Freedom Blog: 'On Sept. 6, the European Union s top court paved the way for farmers and beekeepers to recoup losses when their crops or honey become genetically contaminated from neighboring GM fields. The European Court of Justice ruled that all food products containing GMOs - whether intentional or not - must undergo an approval process. This marks a much stricter view than that being pushed by European Union Commissioner for health and consumer affairs, John Dalli, who wants no regulation of foods genetically contaminated 'by accident,' a ludicrous idea given that coexistence ensures genetic contamination. At the center of the dispute is Bavarian beekeeper Karl Heinz Bablok who joined with several others in suing the state when its research plots of Monsanto s GM corn, MON 810, contaminated his honey.'
