Dear All You might be aware that recently 41 Swedish scientists published an article (attached) in a leading Swedish Newspaper expressing dismay, bewilderment and anger that legislation of GM crops is not based on science, ignores recent evidence, and blocks opportunities to increase agricultural sustainability. They highlighted the irrational and unwarranted obstacles that obstruct the deployment of this useful technology and prevent the development of innovations that will increase yields and reduce the environmental impact of agriculture. The translated article is attached. UK plant scientists have initiated an online petition http://bit.ly/q3FoIr to call on Europe to change GM legislation and adopt science-based GM regulations. The petition ask for those that share views outlined by the Swedish plant scientists to endorse the campaign by signing up at http://bit.ly/q3FoIr. Regards Ruth
