Genetic Engineering Campaign Banner

Greenpeace has, together with affected residents and farmers and ‘IP-Suisse’, raised objections against the permits granted for the GE-wheat experiment of ETH-Lindau (Technical University of Switzerland). The ETH-documents for the planned experiment are full of unanswered questions and contradictions. Risks for humans, the environment and agriculture are not excluded, and a risk-analysis was never made according to the release regulation. And in an experiment that makes, environmentally and agriculturally, no sense. Furthermore, the ETH-report on a preliminary experiment with genetically engineered wheat in the vegetation hall shows that these GE crops are not functioning. Nevertheless, ETH stills wants to continue with the experiments, this time even in the open field!
