Der Protest richtet sich gegen das Vorhaben der Bush-Regierung, Strafzölle auf österreichische Produkte einheben zu wollen, sollte Österreich seine Importverbote für die beiden gentechnisch veränderten Maissorten MON 810 und T25 nicht aufheben. Vor Ort walzt eine Straßenwalze mit der US-Symbolfigur „Uncle Sam“ am Steuer eine aus Maiskörnern gebaute Österreich-Karte und den darin befindlichen Schriftzug ‚Gentechnikfreiheit’ nieder. So symbolisieren die Aktivisten das rücksichtslose Vorgehen der USA im seit dem Jahr 2003 andauernden Streit um Österreichs Gentech-Verbote.Locations:Austria-Central Europe-ViennaDate:20 Mar, 2008Credit:© Greenpeace / Teresa NovotnyMaximum size:1535px X 2362pxKeywords:Access blockade actions-Construction equipment-Day-Embassies-Flags-Genetic engineering-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace logo-KWCI (GPI)-Maize-Men-One person-Outdoors-SAGE (campaign title)-Street theatre actions-Theatrical costumes-United States GovernmentShoot:GE Action at US Embassy in ViennaGreenpeace activists protest at the US embassy in Vienna against the plans of the Bush government to burden Austrian products with an extra tax/ duty if Austria does not take back its ban on import of the genetically modified corn MON 810 and T25.
