here is good news from the anti-GMO battlefront in Europe: Germany has announced that it will seek to ban the import of GM seeds and prohibit the cultivation of GM crops in the European Union’s largest economy.

German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt has stated that he intends to make use of the EU’s “opt-out” policy to ensure that the country remains free of GMO crop cultivation in an effort to protect its citizens and environment from the consequences of the Frankenfood industry.

“Resistance from all sides”

Ministry spokesman Christian Fronczak said:

The German government is clear in that it seeks a nationwide cultivation ban. There’s resistance from all sides, from the public to the farmers.

Individual regions in the country have until September 11 to decide whether or not they want to participate in the ban. The German government will then have until October 3 to inform the EU of its decision regarding the “opt-out” rule.
