Greenpeace activists, dressed as mice, protest against the risks to health and the environment from genetically modified organisms (GMO's), outside the Council of Ministers building in Brussels where Environment Ministers are discussing EU policy on GMO's. Research in Australia was recently abandoned when it was found that mice that are fed on genetically modified peas suffered allergic reactions. The EU Commission continues to approve GMOs for sale in Europe despite poor evaluation of their effects, and in the face of strong opposition from the EU public and many EU member states.
