Offenbar hat das BUWAL die zahlreichen Bedenken, welche die Umweltorganisation gegen die unnötigen und gefährlichen Gen-Experimente vorgelegt hat, ernst genommen. Mit dem heutigen Entscheid macht das BUWAL einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung – zugunsten einer nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft und gegen eine chemielastige und genmanipulierte Agrarproduktion.Locations:Bern (Switzerland)-Europe, East Europe, Alpine Countries-SwitzerlandDate:16 Apr, 1999Credit:© Greenpeace / Iris KrebsMaximum size:2795px X 1783pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Death-Food-Genetic engineering-KWCI (GPI)-Maize-Masks (costume)-SAGE (campaign title)-Small group of people-Theatrical costumes-VegetablesShoot:Genetic Egineering Action BUWAL Decision in Bern SwitzerlandGreenpeace is very pleased with the decision by the Federal Office for Environment, Forests and Landscape (BUWAL), to reject the experimental cultivation of GE maize and potatoes.
