Senator RICE (Victoria) (15:30): I move: That the Gene Technology Amendment (2019 Measures No. 1) Regulations 2019, made under the Gene Technology Act 2000, be disallowed [F2019L00573].
All members of the Australian parliament. When you want to ask them why they voted.
……die noch gevolgd en noch gemonitord worden en verliest gentechvrije status van biologische producten zoals wijn door te stemmen tegen een motie.
Een motie van Senator RICE ( uit Victoria) om een omstreden wet, die er voor zorgt dat nieuwe gentech technieken niet geregeld worden in Australië, tegen te houden is weggestemd door een meerderheid. Ze mogen nu ongehinderd in het Australische milieu losgelaten worden.

Weer een nieuwe aanvraag van een gentech voedingsmiddel (soja) van Monsanto die op de EU markt gebracht zal worden als voedsel en voer maar niet voor teelt. (Ze zijn de laatste tijd wel bezig!) Waarbij de burger zijn/haar mening mag geven.

Forwarded message:
Thanks so much if you contacted your Senators to demand they ensure that all genetically modified organisms (GMOs) continue to be assessed for safety. The Senate will vote on the issue this Wednesday (13th) and Labor Party support will be vital. Unfortunately, the Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen has said Labor won’t support the Greens disallowance motion – and we need to change this.
Can you give him a call on 02 6277 4822?
Alternatively you can send him a tweet
Or message him on his Facebook page
The organic industry and the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility last week joined the growing number of voices warning of the potentially disastrous consequences of these regulatory changes. They mean that new GM techniques such as CRISPR can be used in our environment and food chain with no requirement for safety assessment or traceability.
Please tell Chris to regulate CRISPR!
Thanks so much for your support,

AP NEWS: By DEE-ANN DURBIN, 12-11-19
“Instead, a Dutch company called The Vegetarian Butcher will supply the new soy-based Rebel Whopper. It will go on sale Tuesday at 2,400 restaurants across Europe.
Impossible Foods’ burger hasn’t been approved for sale in the European Union because it contains genetically modified ingredients. The EU requires testing on such …..”.MORE
Our remark: AP does not state that the investigation on the GM ingredient heme (artificial blood) is still in progress at the Dutch Food and Drug administration (NVWA). Burger King does probably do not want to wait any longer on the result.

“In de Verenigde Staten wordt de plantaardige burger van Burger King gemaakt door het bedrijf Impossible Foods, maar die burger werd niet goedgekeurd door de Europese Unie omdat de Amerikaanse variant genetisch gemodificeerde ingrediënten bevat.” Bron Nu.nl, 12-11-19
Opmerking: De Gentechvrije Burgers vroegen aan Bureau GGO wie in de EU het onderzoek doet naar de Impossible Burgers en zij e-mailden dat het de NVWA is. We vroegen het tevens aan de EFSA en schreven er bij dat we bezwaar willen maken en zij zeiden hetzelfde. De uitslag wordt nog verwacht. Zie voor meer info hier.

Omdat niet gevraagd wordt om te verklaren waarom we belanghebbend zouden zijn nemen we aan dat we nu wel belanghebbend zijn. De vorige keer was Stichting Ekopark dit wel maar de Gentechvrije Burgers niet, omdat men niet wist wie dat eigenlijk waren. Door de petitie heeft men nu 219 namen kunnen lezen van Gentechvrije Burgers uit verschillende landen, maar het meest nog uit Nederland. We beraden ons op het deelnemen aan de hoorzitting. Meer info.
Press Releases ENVI Yesterday (6-11-19). “The Environment Committee today opposed the Commission’s plans to authorise the import of products containing four glyphosate and glufosinate ammonium resistant GMOs, in a vote on Wednesday.
The Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee of the European Parliament today opposed the European Commission’s plans to authorise the import of products containing four herbicide-resistant GMOs and calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft implementing decisions on these products. This follows the decision of Plenary 10 October 2019 to oppose three other herbicide-resistant GMOs.
Next steps
The non-binding resolutions will be put to a vote during the Brussels Plenary on 14 November.”. MORE
