THIRTY SIX objections to #GMO authorisations voted in 5 years by the members of the European parliament, and yet the EU Commission ignores their concerns. How is this possible? A failed, opaque, undemocratic and technocratic decision process: #comitology

The #NewGMOs European Court of Justice ruling was a victory for consumers, farmers, and the environment.
But the US government is condemning the ruling, expects EU to "realise" that it needs to change rules, and is offering help to de-regulate. https://t.co/vVSVuuecey
Dr Michael Antoniou: "The [#ECJ] ruling is in line with the precautionary principle and states that gene-editing techniques do not have a long safety record and may pose similar risks to older-style GM techniques." #GMO#PlantBreeding#innovation https://t.co/lNu5z7u3XM
One year after the #ECJ ruling confirming #GeneEditing gives rise to #GMOs, @GreensEFA MEPs call on the Commission to take meaningful action for these #GMOs to be assessed, traced and labelled. https://t.co/l8DMIxJ0rR

Did you know that hormone-disrupting chemicals are everywhere, even in nappies? 🥴
Because of a failing EU decision process called #comitology the EU has still not banned #endocrinedisruptors and they continue to poison us!
Here's what we want to change https://t.co/1W89yAdHeI
We must ACT NOW!
@IPBES report alerts on massive extinction & loss of #biodiversity!
We urgently need:
- a worldwide ban on #glyphosate & #plastics in the oceans
- to stop the use of chemical pesticides
- to stop deforestation

2005-2016: 25% of #EU farms disappeared.
Our current #food system pushes farmers to go big,or go out!
We need better support to small-farmers and shorter food chains!
With a fair #EU Food policy, everyone will gain: farmers,eaters & nature

How does our food grow? Is it according to the rules of nature or those of industry?
We want our food to be healthy for us, and for our environment 🌍♻️ We want a sustainable and toxic-free European food policy #FutureofCAP#IGrowYourFood

"Common agricultural policy is the EU’s largest budget. Every cent spent on it should contribute to the transformation of our agricultural model so that it reduces our CO2 emissions, restores biodiversity and the quality of our soil," says @ph_lamberts to #Latvia PM. #futureofCAP
"In its negotiating objectives announced in January, the U.S. is quite transparent about wanting to block labelling and oversight of currently unregulated newer genetic manipulation techniques, such as #GeneEditing" #GMOs#TTIP

#JournéeMondialeDesLuttesPaysannes
L'occasion de rappeler que, dans une grande partie de la planète, résister contre l'accaparement des terres ou des semences est une vraie lutte, dont les acteurs/actrices risquent leur vie. Le capitalisme financier tue les paysan·ne·s.
Thanks @GreensEP MEPs🙏 for showing support to farm animals🐄🐖🐑 and for keeping up the fight on pledging for their cause in your work in the @Europarl_EN, not only the past 5 years but also well before that! 👍👏 @ciwf
Our current food system often pushes farmers to go big, or go out! 🎥👇
We need a new #CAP for #FairFarming! 🤝
👩🌾Better conditions for farmers
🚜More support to small-medium farms
🌽Shorter food chains

Unbelievable! German government is trying to use #copyright to suppress a study about #glyphosate: https://t.co/fqY6KCGTFu @GreensEP MEPs recently won a court case at the CJEU to get access to similar information. Solidarity with @fragdenstaat! #Zensurheberrecht
Shocking quotes by #Andriukaitis: insulting the NGOs and making unscientific claims. There is NO study on impacts of eating #GMO fed animals. There are many, however on their terrible impacts on the environment and on a heightened use of #pesticides https://t.co/ICFwFdLnEg
