A petition has been posted against the introduction of GM-carnations Moonaqua with altered colours.in the Netherlands.. These carnations are not yet available in Europe because they are not authorized. But the Dutch Ministry of Environment will do that in less than 6 weeks.time. Please join our protest against this flower before than. To test on 'safety' they used mice and human embryo cells, and for a change in colour. We have enough ordinairy flowers with beautiful colours on the globe, we don't need GM ones with all the health and environmental risks involved.

3.Anti GMO March Across Europe and solidarity demonstrations in Poland
A 1,000 kilometre march from Berlin to Brussles to highlight the demand for a world-wide ban of GMO reached Brussles on 30th July. This sparked off a whole series of solidarity demonstrations in Poland which we coordinated.
Symbolic support-protests sprung up in 17 cities in different Provinces of Poland, where co-ordinators - who we had trained at our eco-centre in Styszow - and members of the Coalition for a GMO Free Poland were very active. Media followed and recorded marches to town halls where petitions were handed in demanding that Poland support a general ban of GMO across Europe, also putting pressure on the Polish government to ban the GM maize MON 810 and not to sell-out to the biotech industry and European Union.
Jadwiga Lopata and Julian Rose staged a protest in Krakow with other local activists. In temperatures of plus 32% centigrade a lively march set off to the town hall attracting considerable interest en route. Krakow is the seat of a number of biotechnology institutes that have a strong influence on government policy, but the board of the town council signed Krakow up to being a "GMO Free Zone" in 2005.
