"The seeds of maize MON810 Monsanto Corporation has been the only GM plant that is grown commercially in Europe," explained Stefanie Hundsdorfer of Campact. "With serious consequences. Creeping contaminate its pollen, the GM-free agriculture insecticide being threatened ecosystems, and that's not all.. The risk is corn fed and ends up as cheese, milk, eggs and meat on our plates"

"Many of our European neighbors have already taken action and banned the GM maize," added Hundsdorfer. Only in Germany leave agriculture minister Seehofer grow the GM maize MON810 on. This must change at last. "Even when the group-giant Monsanto has much influence on politics, our chances are not bad, "continued Hundsdorfer. After making the Bavarian state election and the approaching election it Seehofer increasingly difficult to ignore the views of over 70 percent of the population . who are against genetic engineering
