  1. 🚨 EU ministers just agreed to take away farmers' & consumers’ right to choose what they grow in their fields & eat! No more labelling, no more safety checks for #newGMOs. Despite the food industry’s & citizens’ demand to keep their right to know about all generations of GMOs. Our full reaction 👇

    EU vote on new GMOs: wrong for...

  2. 📣 #NewGMOs: Consumer organisations call on EU to "defend the right of consumers to know what they eat and their freedom of choice." #NGTs Biotech industry pressure is massive. But European Parliament should uphold position that consumers have right to know! www.brusselstimes.com/opinions/179...

    Modified food, modified rights...

  3. 🚫 No #GMOs through the back door!

    The EU plans to allow untested, unlabelled #newGMOs in our fields and on our plates.

    Only the EU🇪🇺 Parliament supports traceability and labelling, but this is now at risk. Email your MEPs now to protect our safety and right to choose 👇

  4. 👀 Food labels allow us to choose what's in the food we eat, e.g. if they contain GMOs✔️
    💼 But EU politicians are discussing ending the labelling of most #NewGMOs #NGTs
    ✊ We demand that politicians defend our freedom of choice and keep ALL GMOs labelled! #NoGMOsInMyFood

  5. Protest today in Brussels in front of the 🇪🇺EU Parliament — one day before the vote on the negotiating mandate on #NewGMOs (#NGTs) — demanding strong safeguards for farmers, consumers and the environment. Deregulation of new GMOs would mean a sell out of our food system to corporations. Our message to the EU Parliament: Vote for consumer labelling, for a ban on patents on crops (which will increase dependence on Bayer, BASF, Syngenta and Corteva), and for environmental safety checks.

  7. #Algae are the surprise guest in the @EUCommission deregulation proposal. How are these #organisms used by the #industry ? In which #countries are they produced? And above all, what #genetic modifications are being made for which comercialisation? This overview is of importance because their deregulation would be justified by the “evidence on the safety” of these #NewGMOs . However, these #GMO algae do not exist, as the technical protocols are not yet mastered… infogm.org/en/objet-of-all-des @bloomassociation.org @surfrider @ecvc @GreensEP @foeeurope.bsky.social #sea #ocean #river #biodiversity #environment

  8. Video: 7 Reasons Why Gene Editing is Dangerous and Unpredictable (6:32). "This technology requires greater responsibility and care" — not a deregulated free-for-all! #NewGMOs #CRISPR #GMOs #GMO youtube.com/watch?v=Au5HO7it9n

  9. We already have problems with patents spilling over from #GMOs into conventional breeding. If patented #NGTs (gene-edited #newGMOs) get deregulated, the problem will get so much worse. #Patents block access to seed and are a threat to food security! It is mostly agrochemical multinationals that are filing these patents, e.g. #Bayer, #BASF, #Syngenta and #Corteva no-patents-on-seeds.org/en/rep

  10. 🧬 The European Parliament is voting on a proposal that would scrap any safety checks for #newGMOs and labelling and traceability requirements.

    ❌ Find out more about why this #deregulation proposal for #NGTs is a REALLY bad idea by reading Nina Holland's op-ed (originally in Eu Observer).

  11. 🧬Tomorrow the EU Parliament's Environmental committee will vote on a highly controversial proposal to deregulate #newGMOs (NGTs).

    📢We call on MEPs to stand up for safety checks, freedom of choice and protection of GM-free and organic farming

    📺Please watch this address to MEPs by John D Liu, film maker, Visiting Fellow at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO) of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Ecosystem Ambassador for the Commonland Foundation.

  14. We Europeans have made it clear, time and time again, that we don’t want GMOs in our food.

    Yet, some political groups are teaming up with big agro-industry to allow them into our food without us knowing where they are used.

  15. ⛔EU's proposal to deregulate new GMOs in spectacular submission to the biotech industry

    ❌The European Commission
    has launched its highly controversial proposal to deregulate #NewGMOs. This will increase risks for the environment and health, and undermine the rights of farmers & consumers

    🌾El sector libre de OGM es más eficiente y emplea a más de 6 millones de personas.

  18. 🇪🇺 Yesterday, we delivered our #IChooseGMOFree petition backed by 400k+ EU citizens to @EU_Commission.

    🧬 Our demands? #newGMOs must remain regulated & labeled!

    ❌False promises and technofixes are not the solution to transition towards sustainable #FoodSystems!

  19. 🔴 Live from the #IChooseGMOFree demo in #Brussels.
    @Europarl_EN & @EU_Commission, #newGMOs must be:
    ☑️ risk-assessed for human health & the environment
    ☑️ traceable for producers & farmers
    ☑️ clearly labeled for consumers
    We have the right to know what's on our plates!

  20. 🎡 A new game is coming to town 🎡

    Want to play AND protest against the @EU_Commission's plan to deregulate #NewGMOs?

    If you're in Brussels tomorrow, come by Place du Luxembourg at 1pm! #IChooseGMOFree
