6-02-2019, Reuters, Sybille de La Hamaide: Bayer zorgde voor een terugroepactie maar er was al zaad gezaaid op ongeveer 8.000 ha in Frankrijk en op 2.500 tot 3.000 ha in Duitsland, dit zaad zal weer verwijderd worden zei Bayer.
Bayer issued a product recall but some of the seed had already been sown, representing about 8,000 hectares in France and 2,500-3,000 hectares in Germany, which are in the process of being dug up, Bayer said.
Een voormalig lid van het EFSA GMO panel, Jean-Michel Wal, heeft gezegd dat een onderzoek naar Bt gewassen suggereert dat Bt allergische reacties kunnen veroorzaken en dat die studie solide wetenschappelijke gegronde resultaten bevat. Link (Eng.) A former member of the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA’s) GMO panel, Jean-Michel Wal, has said that a study suggesting that GM Bt crops could be allergenic has “solid scientifically grounded results”, according to a report in EU Food Policy.[1] But the Dutch COGEM has okayed a recent renewal of a Bt maize.
De COGEM heeft de import van een Bt mais echter weer goedgekeurd. Zij beoordeelt de voedselveiligheid echter niet. De vraag is wie dat dan wel doet. “Concluderend acht de COGEM de risico’s van import en verwerking van maïslijn Bt11 voor mens en milieu verwaarloosbaar klein.” Ook al gaat het in dit geval om Cry1Ab,daar is ook onderzoek naar gedaan en dat stemt niet vrolijk.

This gave rise to fears that the toxins may not be effectively eliminated in humans and there may be a high risk of exposure through consumption of contaminated meat.” Source GMWatch.
Say no to open field trials of new, untested gene silencing technology
Please support the African Centre of Biodiversity’s objection by signing and commenting on this petition against Pioneer Hi-Bred’s application for open field trials of RNAi /gene silencing (DP-566113-9) GM maize. Press Release
Please support collective efforts to prevent the release of a new type of GMO in South Africa. Pioneer Hi-Bred RSA (Pty) (DuPont) has applied for a permit to grow the GM maize event DP-056113-9 in open field trials. This GMO makes use of new and risky RNA interference (gene silencing) technology. This GM maize event is being developed as part of the Seed Production Technology for Africa (SPTA) project to provide maize parent lines to seed breeders with sterile pollen for the mass production of hybrid maize to supply smallholder farmers. Biowatch is concerned about this application for a number of reasons contained in our objection here.
Steun het African Centre of Biodiversity’s bezwaar door de petitie te tekenen en commentaar te geven vanwege de voorgenomen gentechveldproeven van Pioneer Hi-Bred met RNAi/gene silencing van gentech mais. Meedoen kan tot 18 februari 2019. Lees ook het persbericht (Eng.)

De rechter in Ecuador heeft het ministerie daar verzocht alle gentech gewassen te verbranden die illegaal worden verbouwd. Ecuador is namelijk een gentechvrij land. Omdat dat ministerie nog in beroep kan, richt men zich eerst op gentech soja die illegaal is aangeplant en waarbij Roundup wordt gespoten. Maar de strijd tegen de gentech anjers die daar in kassen worden gekweekt (net als in Colombia) en waar wij bezwaar tegen maken, gaat ook door. Dit schreef Mevr. E. Bravo ons via Twitter.

We ontvingen eergisteren een steunbetuiging uit Frankrijk. Deze luidt als volgt:
Dear Gentechvrije Burgers,
We, the Non-Governmental Organization “OGM dangers”, based in Paris, France want to object against the renewal of the placing on the EU market of the GM carnation Moonaqua (TM) in giving our support to the objections of De Gentechvrije Burgers (The European GMO-free Citizens) in The Netherlands. Their objections were sent to the Dutch Ministry of I and W.
I would
also stress the fact that such an opposition proves that we do not oppose GMO
only for alimentary risks. The will of power embodied in the possibility of
genetically modifying plants and animals could lead to a “brave new
world”.
On
behalf of “OGM dangers” I, Hervé Le Meur, president of the NGO, done in
Paris on January the 14th of 2019
