Ends of the organics

Before to show you a podcast from a radio broadcast describing our problem, I would like to trace the content of an article published in Nature in France in 2006:

"The European Commission has recently proposed to amend regulations concerning the method of production and bio preparation, in order to make it clearer for consumers and the industry, but also to facilitate free trade in Europe . Intended to be implemented in 2009, this bill very discussed should be adopted by June this year, leaving little time for professional organizations and consumers to respond.

Indeed, if the project offers some advanced rules for organic wine, or the possibility of exempting smaller distributors bio cost control, in general it calls into question the foundations of organic farming . Thus, if adopted, would chemistry its entrance with the possibility of using pesticides for crops, and use of allopathic medicines for animals. In addition, with this text, the European Commission would bring GMOs in the Bio, tolerating a level of pollution by 0.9%. "

Here is a podcast of a radio extract on 26 December 2008.




This excerpt relaunch the debate launched in 2006 but this time the threat of the reform of biologic specifications is imminent. What is at stake is the entry of GMOs in Europe (genetically modified organism) and the withdrawal of the subsidiary Bio.

This post is intended to warn you about this danger, which requires short-term support of engaged consumers.
