GMO Free Regions Conference 2010

Dear Friends of GMO Free Europe,
 
3 weeks ago we held our 6th GMO free regions conference in Brussels and Ghent where 300 representatives from 37 countries met to discuss the GMO Free movement, to share experiences, expertise and ideas and to voice joint opposition to the introduction of GMOs into European agriculture.
 
Documentation
 
The proceedings and presentations are now online and can also be viewed as videos of all speeches at the European Parliament.

Documentation of the workshops in Ghent is nearly completed but we still miss some presentations and reports from facilitators.

We also started a photo and video gallery and would like to invite you all to send any additional contributions from your own pictures.

The latest map of all GMO Free Regions in Europe including a detailed list is online and can be downloaded at:

Stay tuned and hopefully see you at our conference next year!
