Croatia will, in spite of opposition from citizens, have sown the GMOfield In Croatia, 80 percent of citizens voted against GMOs. In
all promotional activities for Croatian accession to the EU the issue
of genetically modified crops and foods derived from them, is not
mentioned. Will
be interesting to see how the Croatian government thinks that citizens
will accept the possibility that the Commission order the planting of
such seeds once they enter the EU with regard to how the resistance of
GMOs."The
decision on planting GMOs will bring the European Commission and
Croatia will this decision, regardless of the counties declared GMO
free, you must accept," said geneticist Professor. Dr. Marijan Jošt. He does not think that we will enter the EU adopt a boon. Moreover,
he says, the Croats are good servants but bad masters, fighting for
freedom and independence, and yet as soon as we can fly away under a
cap: Are we able to establish its own rules, but we must dictate the EU
as a kid? Professor. Jošt
believes that the problem is that the European Commission is not named
but is set, and thus is heavily influenced by multinational
corporations. "The
whole story of GMO revolves only around multinational corporations,
primarily Monstantoea, which is the largest and most ruthless player.
But how would it Monstanto and similar companies with GMO entered into a
country must first get through the influence of politicians or
scientists of the country. The
intensity of the lobbying carried out by Monstanto the U.S.
government's so amazing is not surprising when the U.S. government takes
all possible steps to "recalcitrant" land forces to import and planting
of genetically modified crops, "explains Professor. Jošt. He
says that thanks to the many WikiLeaks leaked information so that the
public came out and one in which the American ambassador in Paris, Craig
Stapleton advised that Washington against any member of the EU, which
opposes the introduction of GMOs, the trade war starts, which speaks
volumes about the meaning of Monsanto, which has the U.S. government. "WikiLeaks
reveals the attitudes of the American Embassy of Croatia and GMO. So
they say that Croats respected science and that science is prone to
GMOs. But they acknowledge that only the science that is for GMOs,
scientists who are against simply do not recognize" says Prof. Jošt. America
is familiar with the attitudes of Croatian citizens who oppose the
planting of GM crops and state that the people fear the government that
such crops to be sown without their knowledge. But
also say that with the approach of Croatian EU harmonizing legislation
with European standards and there are hopes that it will demolish the
idea of Croatia free of GMOs, since Croatia will certainly follow the
EU when it comes to biological safety, or GMOs. Food
Act, Environmental Protection Act, Consumer Protection Act are in fact
regulatory frameworks for the introduction of modified crops and foods,
such as, without this legislation in Croatia is in effect a de facto ban
on planting of such seeds. Opponents
of GMOs in Croatia, encouraged by the successes neighboring Austria,
Slovenia and Italy to some extent in opposition to the views of the
Commission.
Americans
accepted as scientific truth, and only those scientists who do not have
a critical attitude towards GMOs until about those who oppose the
introduction of such crops and foods as GMO free regions and no words. "Europe is in large part fighting against GMOs, but the European Commission is a real problem," says Prof. Jošt. It
is interesting that the EU's leading scientist, molecular biologist
Anne Glover stood in defense of genetically modified organisms statement
that the debate on this subject in Europe leads the emotions rather
than scientific evidence. "I'm worried about it because I do not see any evidence that confirms the risks associated with GMOs," said Glover. She
even says that in North America for 15 years growing and eating
genetically modified food and do not see what the negative impact it had
then. He
says he never told people that there is no risk in the feeding of
genetically modified food, but equally there is a risk anything to eat. There are risks associated with conventional food, organic food and any other form of agriculture. Glover
also said that as a scientific adviser to the European Commission's
policy to strive to abolish certain prohibitions related to the GMO,
because, according to her opinion, the European ban on GM could become
uncompetitive. "We
need to seriously think about genetically modified seeds as part of the
fight against climate change and the need to feed everyone in the
world," said Glover. Yet 15 years of continuous planting of GM crops has shown that GMOs will feed the world, nor will it bring better crops. On the contrary. "The
rich have too much, poor thing. And Croatia started behaving arrogantly
in the whole world behaves. Not a problem that does not have enough
food in the world than the one they have too much and others too little.
Americans have problems with obesity, and Africans are dying of hunger , "explains Professor. Jošt. He
added that the commercial production of genetically modified products
has begun 1996th, and his first article on GMOs, which was a scientific
review published in 1998. year. Since the war with some of our academics like Kucan and Jelaska. "FCA
Jelaska wanted to introduce a GM bacteria for demining as we scientists
say this does not seem to madness. When he realized that nothing can be
done, ended convene a session of the Commission on GMOs," says Prof. Jošt who is a member of the In
order to provide resistance, Argentines were in motion ujedinil Stop
splashing, which require national government ban on spraying from
aircraft and limit spraying fields with soil. On
the other hand, the Europeans and the Japanese refusal to consume food
from GM soy, and meat, milk and eggs from animals fed with GM soybeans,
began to develop the market of conventional soybean varieties. Thus,
at the American universities were created new, more fertile varieties
of conventional soybeans, which provide higher profits for farmers. "Although
the proponents of GMOs argued that the fear of contamination of genetic
material funny, GM began to conquer not only the neighboring fields,
but also wild. Most alarming is the fact that some plants in the wild
have a mixture of modified genes, meaning that reproduce independently.
Once GM-culture
spread, can not be so easily eradicated and there is no way to prevent
contamination of genetic material through pollen spread, scatter seeds
or due to human error, "says Prof. Jošt. We
ask you, do you think scientists are advocating GMO really confident in
his favor, or by lobbying for it have some other uses, prof. Jošt
says that some scientists are so enamored with the job they are doing
to support GMOs because they see only a narrow picture. For
example microbiologists who believe that the GMO in the way that they
are not forgotten and agronomists, though I know what the technical
process of gene transfer, they do not know which is the result of the
transfer out and what happens next."Little
Man Antediluvian you conceives that he can not change the result of
nature, but when you change one thing forever start the whole cycle of
changes that destroy everything," says Prof. Jošt. He explains that genetic engineering reduces the transfer of genes from different species. There is a barrier that prevents the transmission of genes. What kind of distant, the transfer is more difficult, which is closer, easier. The intersection of horses and donkeys will give a mule, a donkey and a mare pier but both of these animals will be infertile. Nature is the one moment allow something, but it is only a step further prevented. Professor. Jošt Commented on the Argentine experience with GM crops, explaining how it
has turned Argentina into a large scientific laboratory. In this South American country for fifteen years permitted planting of GM Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans. Argentine government in order to pull the country out of a deep economic recession, 1990. restructure its economy to the genetically modified soybeans, intended for export. The only scientific support in favor of such a decision were "scientific" data owners of GM soybeans, Monsanto Corporation. "Argentina
is due to GM crops temporarily pulled from the financial crisis, but it
drew many new evil. GM varieties are from the beginning were five
percent less of gender. With this appeared a new plant diseases, namely
40, which did not exist before The
intensity of the existing disease increased so that it could happen
that some years 40 percent of crops destroyed, "explains Professor. Jošt. Today
in Argentina more than 56 percent, or 18.65 million hectares of
farmland planted with RR soya, tolerant to Monsanto's herbicide Roundup. "Between
the 1997th and 2008. Soybean exports from Argentina increased from 3.2
to 16.3 billion U.S. dollars. Thanks to the large agricultural
enterprises and transnational corporations, the production model is
accepted as a great economic success. At the same time 200 000 small
farmers displaced with
their country. EU imports about 38 million tons of RR soy-free import
duties for a year. Due to the resistance of Europeans to RR soybeans,
the soybean ending as cheap fodder on large factory farms, and the
result is the low price of meat, eggs and milk, where
the EU's small farmers can not compete. his success in the market due
to lobbying by Monsanto in the U.S. Congress. aim of the grants was to
help Monsanto, protected by patents, expensive GM seeds and herbicides
together, monopolize world food supply, "says Professor. Jošt www.večernji.hr
