In the latest storm of controversy, critics of genetically modified products and organisms (GMOs or GMs) saw pictures like one of a distended lab rat and cried: “I knew it!”
The jury is still out on the methodology of the tests it was subjected to.
One of the findings’ co-authors, Joel Spiroux, is president of the Committee of Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering, CRIIGEN, in France.
Corrine Lepage is one of the heads at CRIIGEN, was once environment minister in the French government, and is now a member of the European Parliament. She’s not surprised.
At the parliament, Lepage said: “We’ve spoken plainly and bluntly about this, and I hope things are going to change. I’ve called it to the attention of the ministers of the 27 EU member states and the European Commissioner responsible for health policy John Dalli, to ask that all GMs consumed in Europe be subject to studies lasting for two years.”
The anti-GM movement has long sought to involve more players in seeking scientific answers.
