Es difícil encontrar información fiable sobre esto, porque los únicos interesados en divulgar información sobre los cultivos modificados genéticamente son perroflautas contrarios a los cultivos modificados genéticamente.

Yo, desde que los indios no se murieron de hambre en los 70, estoy muy a favor de la modificación genética. Pero también a favor de saber qué como, claro.

Quería que me confirmáseis una duda que tengo. Suelo comprar la marca Soywell de leche de soja. Hoy me he parado a leer la etiqueta y dice:



Elaborado con habas de soja no modificadas genéticamente de acuerdo en lo establecido en el código alimentario austríaco sobre manipulación genética. Certificado por agroVet GmbH.


¿Quiero esto decir que cualquier alimento austríaco no puede llevar nada manipulado genéticamente? ¿Tenemos lo mismo aquí?

In April 1997, some Austrian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) called on the electorate to sign a referendum against genetically modified food and plants. The three main demands were

-no production or trade of genetically modified food in Austria

-no field trials or deliberate releases of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Austria

-an Austrian "no" vote on the European directive, which allows patenting of life forms and genes.

-At first the organizers of the referendum forecast a successful outcome with about 400,000 signatures. This would have been twice as many as the recent protests against the USDA’s organic food standard regulation in the USA. All predictions were surpassed, however. More than 1,200,000 Austrians signed the referendum within five days. If these were parliamentary elections, the opponents of genetically engineered food would have become the third biggest voting block in Austria at that time. Taking into account that a referendum in Austria is not a binding yes or no decision, but a voluntary occasion to express one’s political will, this result was overwhelming. Since then the Austrian parliament had to deal with this issue and the government had to set a new course in their biotech policy.

As a result the Austrian Parliament approved one of the toughest laws in the world on genetically modified organisms in April 1998. It includes a high fine for anyone who illegally releases genetically modified organisms into the environment and holds companies liable for any environmental damage caused by GMOs. The law also allows those living near proposed GMO release sites to be parties in legal action, including individuals as well as mayors of neighboring village
