GMWatch News Review archive

from Claire Robinson, WEEKLY WATCH guest editor
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear all

Welcome to WW43 bringing you all the latest news in brief on the GM issue. I don't believe we've ever had an issue that consisted so overwhelmingly of Setbacks to the GM Lobby. But this was the week when the UK crop trial results were released, giving the big thumbs-down to GM crops; Monsanto fled Europe; and EU enviro minister Wallstrom publicly lost patience with the biotech industry's "lies". Meanwhile, Brazil's second biggest soya-growing state has placed a complete ban on the import, sale, cultivation, processing or export of all genetically modified organisms.

I hope other countries can take hope from what's happened this week. Among those under pressure is New Zealand, whose people are showing iron determination to keep their clean, green nation GM-free in the face of the irresponsibility of prime minister Helen Clark.

We can certainly all take heart from the fact that in the last few days Monsanto has started to pull out of Europe, cut up to 9% of its global workforce, reported a $188 million loss, seen a big drop in share value and pulled out of GM Pharma Crops.*

SETBACKS TO THE GM LOBBY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM GENES NOT DESTROYED IN PIGS' GUTS
A new published study shows that GM DNA from Bt corn was not totally degraded in the gastrointestinal tract. These findings question its safety for animal feed and give the lie to industry and government claims that GM DNA is destroyed by the digestive process. An abstract of the paper is at: http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1612

BRAZILIAN STATE BANS GMOS
The Southern State of Parana in Brazil - Brazil's second biggest soya growing State - adopted a law this week that prohibits the import, planting, commercialisation, processing and exporting, via its port, of Monsanto's GM soya and other genetically modified organisms.

CROP TRIAL RESULTS SHOW GM BAD FOR WILDLIFE
Results of the UK GM farm scale evaluations were published October 16. They show that wildlife suffered in GM beet and GM oilseed rape crops, which had far fewer insects and weeds compared with the non-GM controls, suggesting they represent a big threat to birds such as the skylark and corn bunting. Elliot Morley, the UK's environment minister, said the results showed, "GM crops had severe implications for wild birds".

By contrast, more wildlife was found in the GM maize crop trialled than in the non-GM control. But the maize trials have been criticised as serioulsy flawed. This was for two reasons. Firstly, because they took no account of the impact on yield of allowing weeds to grow late, as occurred in the GM part of the trial. Secondly, the non-GM control was almost invariably sprayed with atrazine, a highly toxic weedkiller which has just been banned in the EU.

Professor Geoff Squire, one of the trial scientists, told the BBC: "With atrazine, it kills so much of the wildlife because of its persistence and its toxicity. Obviously, if atrazine is withdrawn, we'll have to look at maize again. This is a package, the GM crop and the herbicide. If either element changes, we shall have to revisit it. I think this is a view shared among the research team." (GM test results already in doubt, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3197480.stm)

The published report itself also notes that "the findings would represent what would actually happen under large-scale growing, unless the management regimes altered somewhat, for example if... atrazine was no longer allowed on maize crops".

As atrazine is being phased out, it's expected that the maize part of the trial will have to be re-done with a permitted weedkiller. In the meantime, the government is hinting that they will not be making a decision on GM commercialisation until after the next election.

If the government does go ahead, then it will have to deal with the 1,500 people who have vowed to pull up GM crops. This follows a successful summer in which all this year's national seed list trials (where new strains are tested) being destroyed.

EUROPE-WIDE BAN?
The impact of the trial results will be felt not just in the UK, according to The Guardian. They could lead to a Europe-wide ban. UK environment minister, Elliot Morley, also appeared to suggest the evidence could halt the planting of GM crops throughout the European Union. The European Commission and member states had been awaiting the results, he said, adding: "I don't think any European country can ignore these results."
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-857324,00.html

The fact that the results were uniform across different parts of the UK, gave Prof Chris Pollock, chairman of the scientific panel overseeing the trials, confidence that the results would be the same across all of Europe.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/gmdebate/Story/0,2763,1064966,00.html

RESPONSES TO THE TRIALS
Michael Meacher, the former environment minister who set up the trials with industry in 1998, said, "The government said that if the trials showed harm to the environment then they would not proceed with GM. We've always known the public is hostile, and now the science shows the same. That settles the argument."

Almost all Britain's leading environment, conservation, wildlife, countryside and consumer groups called for the banning of GM crops or for more tests. "We now have confirmation that GM crops harm the environment, make no economic sense and are deeply unpopular. Tony Blair must stand up to US pressure and declare Britain GM-free," said Tony Juniper, of Friends of the Earth.

The GM industry took a different view. "This evidence shows that GM crops are more flexible and can enhance biodiversity," said Dr Paul Rylott, of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council, which represents Monsanto, Syngenta and other leading GM companies.

WEASEL WORDS ON ATRAZINE
You may have heard GM lobbyists desperately trying to talk up the relevance of the GM maize trial, in which the control crop was sprayed with the to-be-banned chemical atrazine. They claimed that other weedkillers apart from atrazine were used so the trial results are still valid. However, of the 68 farmscale trials surveyed 94% were sprayed with atrazine, either as the sole herbicide used or in combination with other herbicides. This means that just 4 non-GM maize crops grown in the trials were free of the chemical which is to be banned because of its persistence and toxicity.

ENGLISH NATURE PREDICTED MAIZE TRIAL FIX
Note that the GM maize trial was only sprayed with gluphosinate ammonium, or Liberty herbicide, which the crop was bio-engineered to resist. While toxic and known to cause birth defects, it's not as broadly toxic as atrazine, which the non-GM maize was sprayed with. However, evidence from North America shows that in practice, farmers growing glufosinate tolerant maize have to resort to other, more toxic, weedkillers like atrazine tank mixes and 2,4-D.

Professor Mike Owen of Iowa State University estimated at least 75% and probably 90% of the pre-packaged mixes bought by US farmers growing 'LibertyLink' maize contain atrazine along with glufosinate ammonium. Aventis (now Bayer) sells the product as Liberty ATZ [atrazine].

But the fact that the GM crop trial weedkiller methodology in no way reflected actual farm practice was not taken into account in the trial, a point that BBC Newsnight highlighted.

From our archive, here's an uncannily prophetic quote from Brian Johnson of English Nature - the UK government's wildlife advisors: "If I were being cynical I would say that Aventis [now Bayer] told the govt that only [the herbicide glufosinate ammonium] would be used on these crops in the hope that more weeds would survive in [their GM] crops in the FSEs.  If so, and I have no idea that this is right, then they could argue that the GM crops were better for the environment!  They might then gain marketing consent for [their GM] crops, only for the company then to change the pesticide recommendations to ATZ-type tank mixes."
http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1627

Is anyone surprised that the government recently proposed a shake-up of rural government departments focusing on countryside/farming issues which would see English Nature axed?

TELLING QUOTE ON THE CROP TRIALS
Greenpeace's executive director Stephen Tindale: "The real comparison should be between GM and organic agriculture. But organic is so obviously better for the environment that the GM industry refused point blank to have this included in the trials. The trials are simply comparing one highly damaging form of agriculture with one that's even worse."

CIVIL UNREST THREAT OVER GM
West country campaigners against GM crops have warned Tony Blair that he would provoke "civil unrest" if he pressed ahead with plans to allow the crops to be grown in the UK. Campaigners from the region joined a mass protest in Westminster on 13 October just days before the Government revealed the results of its GM crop trials.

Former Environment Minister Michael Meacher told the rally of around 700 protesters that they were winning the argument on GM. Mr Meacher cited the Government's economic report and scientific review on GM, both of which raised serious concerns about the technology. And he said that the recent public debate had shown that people were overwhelmingly opposed to GM crops. He added: "This is the freedom movement in our country now. There is no more basic human right of people than to decide what food they are going to eat. I think we are well on the way to winning." In a message to Mr Blair, he added: "You have told us Tony that you are listening. What we want to know is have you heard?"

The protest included stops at Downing Street, the headquarters of the National Farmers Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, where petitions against GM were handed in. The "tractors and trolleys" protest involved both farmers and consumers. Somerset organic farmer Robert Mann drove his tractor to London to take part in the protest. Mr Mann said any decision to allow GM crops to be grown commercially could threaten his business.  He added: "It is good to see farmers and consumers working together on this. Farmers should do more and say more about this. There is no market for GM here - most people do not want it."

GM CROPS GIANT MONSANTO PULLS OUT OF EUROPE
Monsanto has announced it is pulling out of its European cereal seed business. The move was widely seen as a sign that it has given up hopes of introducing GM cereals in Europe. It announced its decision on the eve of Thursday's publication of results of farm-scale British evaluations of GM crops, the final and most influential part of the Government's investigation into whether to allow GM crops to be grown commercially. The trials, which investigated the effect of GM maize, oilseed rape and sugar beet on farmland wildlife and biodiversity, are expected to give a mixed verdict on the technology.

Two other Government reports on the economic benefits of growing GM crops and on scientific understanding of their environmental and health effects have also failed to present a strong case for rushing into commercial GM cultivation. There are also questions about the value of the GM maize trials, which did not take the vital factor of crop yield into account. Monsanto's announcement that it wants to sell its cereal development stations at Cambridge, England, and in France, Germany and the Czech Republic, followed hardening resistance to GM crops throughout Europe.

MONSANTO POSTS LOSS, WILL CUT JOBS
Monsanto said its quarterly loss widened and it would cut its work force by up to 9 percent next year in a restructuring aimed at focusing the company's resources on its seeds and biotech traits businesses. Monsanto shares fell as much as 6 percent as the company projected 2004 earnings below current estimates.
http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1630
It is also, according to The new York Times, pulling out of GM pharma crops.

GM POLLEN TRAVELS 26 KM AND CAN LAST AT LEAST 16 YEARS, NEW STUDY SAYS
Devastating new research published by the UK Government shows that pollen from GM oilseed rape travels six times further than previously documented and could contaminate non-GM and organic crops for more than 16 years. Further findings indicate that some GM crops could make birds such as the skylark extinct within 20 years.

The UK Government has published the results of four different projects, carried out by the Scottish Crop Research Institute, at
(http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2003/031013b.htm)
which show that:
*Bees can take oilseed rape pollen and pollinate with non-GM oilseed rape over a distance of 26 Km.
*If wild GM oilseed rape is not "rigorously controlled" then contamination would not "would not fall below 1% for16 years."
*Modelling indicates that the effects of introducing GM sugar beet could be "extremely severe, with a rapid decline, and extinction of the skylark within 20 years."

BRITAIN MOVES TO TIGHTEN GM CROP TRIAL RULES
Britain's Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) said it is introducing the "new, more stringent conditions" after last year's incident  in which Bayer CropScience, the UK arm of Germany's Bayer BAYG.DE ,  inadvertently planted tainted GM rapeseed contaminated with unauthorised antibiotic resistant genes in trial sites throughout England and Scotland. The government has decided not to prosecute Bayer for its illegal act in England.

EU ENVIRO COMMISSIONER ATTACKS BIOTECH INDUSTRY 'LIES'
American biotech companies tried to lie to Europe in an attempt to force genetically modified crops upon them, Margot Wallström, the European environment commissioner, said. Far from developing GM crops to solve the problem of starvation in the world, as they claimed, the biotech companies did so to "solve starvation amongst their shareholders", said the European Union's leading green politician.
http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1619

Wallstrom's comment is the latest instance of a commendable frankness from the European Commission. Earlier this year EU trade commissioner Pascal Lamy accused the US of being "very simply immoral" in its linking of the GM issue to food aid.
http://ngin.tripod.com/forcefeed.htm
And European Development Commissioner Paul Nielson accused US trade representative Robert Zoellick of a "very negative lie" when he said some EU governments had threatened to withdraw aid from poor countries that used GM. Nielson proposed a deal: "The deal would be this: if the Americans would stop lying about us, we would stop telling the truth about them."

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK
------------------------------------------------------------
GATES FOUNDATION PLEDGES $ 25M FOR GM...
Public and elite foundation subsidy continues to prop up GM technology as the companies themselves go increasingly into retreat. The US-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has donated $25 million for combating malnutritional problems in the developing countries, including India. This assistance will include a program called HarvestPlus for improving the nutritional quality of staple food through GM. The donation has led to criticism that Gates's foundation is backing US corporate interests, not the poor - for a great article on this by The Guardian's environment correspondent, John Vidal, see:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/gmdebate/Story/0,2763,1063777,00.html

...WHY? GATES WAS WAMBUGU-ED!
Last year Dr. Florence Wambugu was appointed to the Science Board of the Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation's Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative. Dr Wambugu is a DuPont Biotech Advisory Panelist, a two-times Monsanto Company Outstanding Performance Award winner, author and publisher of the book "Modifying Africa" and Chief Executive Director of A Harvest Biotech Foundation International. Dr Wambugu has also been called "an apostle of Monsanto in Africa". She was picked and trained by Monsanto and came to fame via Monsanto's virus-resistant sweet potato project. Wambugu built her reputation on this project, capturing massive positive publicity for GM in the process. But Wambugu's reputation is built on a lie. For more on Wambugu, see

NEW ZEALAND: NO CHANCE OF CHANGING GE POLICY, CLARK SAYS AS THOUSANDS MARCH
NZ prime minister Helen Clark says the Government is not going to change its GE policy despite protests at the weekend. Thousands of demonstrators marched in Auckland, Wellington and other cities to protest against the lifting of the moratorium for releasing GE organisms on October 29.

35,000 people (Greenpeace counted them) marched to keep New Zealand GE free in central Auckland on 11 October. The train system ran late and could not handle the full loads as thousands descended from the outlying suburbs of one of the world's geographically largest cities. Transrail staff (in charge of a train-set which, like other once publicly-owned resources, is about to be sold to another trans-national corporation) let many demonstrators come to the march free.

Many eye-witnesses said, "the event was one of the biggest-ever public protests, and on a par with mass anti-nuclear marches of the early 1980s and anti-Vietnam marches of the 1960s." [http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1615 ]

Alannah Currie [the founder of MadGE, Mothers Against GE] stated that she was tired, frustrated and angry of presenting arguments to the politicians who ignored and belittled "us (MAdGE representatives) every time."

To a roaring crowd in Myers Park, Currie said in her speech, "Hell hath no fury like women ignored. Moratorium, or no moratorium. MAdGE or no MAdGE. The mothers of New Zealand and their families will not give up the fight. One way or another we will keep this country GE free."

She quoted the politicians' replies, in a mock-posh voice, "New Zealand has the most rigorous bio-security systems in the world." Currie ridiculed "sad, pathetic, useless Aunty ERMA" (the Environmental Risk Management Agency) saying that the government agency had never turned down a GE application to date. She stated that "They (ERMA) are a toothless hound guarding the chicken coop of corporate-funded scientists, lawyers and ignorant politicians," to which the crowd cheered, clapped and howled. "The government did a report on ERMA a few months ago and found forty-nine areas of weakness. If ERMA is our protector, if ERMA is our safeguard, then I ask, would anyone use a condom with 49 holes in it?" (item 2)

LEGAL BID TO STOP LIFTING OF NZ MORATORIUM
A late legal challenge has been made to stop the lifting of the GE moratorium.

GM CROPS COULD - IF APPROVED - MAKE SAINSBURY MILLIONS
UK science minister Lord Sainsbury's company Innotech has a 12.4% stake in a US firm called Paradigm Genetics, which could, if GM crops were approved in the EU, make millions. Paradigm is involved in a joint venture with Monsanto to develop novel genes that could be used to modify the DNA of crop plants.

Sainsbury gave Labour its biggest single donation in September 1997 and over GBP11m in all. He was made a life peer by Blair on October 3 1997. Lord Sainsbury is a major personal investor in GM, and has long-established links to two biotech investment companies - Innotech and Diatech.

MEXICAN GM CONTAMINATION MUCH WORSE THAN FEARED
Representatives from indigenous and farming communities in Mexico have had testing carried out on indigenous maize varieties and found that GM contamination is worse than previously thought. In 24% of total samples from nine states, the tests found some presence of transgenes in native corn. The results show percentages of contamination that run from 1.5% to 33.3%.

In the nine states that tested positive, genetic contamination was found that coincides with the protein Bt-Cry9c from the corn variety Starlink, patented by Aventis (Bayer), prohibited for human consumption in the US and now taken off the market.

Baldemar Mendoza, an indigenous farmer from Oaxaca, reported at the news conference that deformed plants with GM traits have been found in Oaxaca and other states. "We have seen many deformities in corn, but never like this. One deformed plant in Oaxaca that we saved tested positive for three different transgenes. The old people of the communities say they have never seen these kinds of deformities."
http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1613

"In genetic engineering, a lot of GM plants never see the daylight, because for one reason or another they don't grow or they have an unpleasant colour like the GM salmon which turned green ... if GM is such a predictable, precise science, then you should be able to produce the same thing again and again. But you can't."

"These positioning effects are not simple to predict. Think of William Tell, shooting an arrow at a target. Now put a blindfold on the man doing the shooting and that's the reality of the genetic engineer when he's doing a gene insertion. He has no idea where the transgene will land in the recipient genome."

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
------------------------------------------------------------
"In the absence of compelling human emergency, there is no justifiable reason to introduce in a hurry new untested technology until we have solid proof of their utility and safety." - Bishop Antonio Ledesma, S.J.,in a publication of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
http://www.lobbywatch.org/archive2.asp?arcid=1621

"[US biotech companies] tried to lie to people and they tried to force it upon people. It's the wrong approach. You cannot force it upon Europe. So I hope they have learnt a lesson from this, especially when they now try to argue that this will solve the problems of starvation in the world and so on. But come on ... it was to solve starvation amongst shareholders, not the developing world." - EU Environment Commissioner, Margot Wallstrom
