Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), 12 May 2009
Moves are afoot to certify GM soy as "responsible". The Round Table on Responsible Soy (an NGO-industry forum including companies like Cargill, Monsanto, Syngenta, and NGOs including WWF and Solidaridad) is developing the certification system which is expected to be voted on at the end of this month.
Voice your opposition to the certification of GM (RoundupReady) soyas 'responsible'.
Individuals can still sign the petition, at www.toxicsoy.org. Translations are available in Spanish, French, German, Greek, and Italian.
And organisations can urge the NGOs supporting this scheme to change their minds by signing the international letter:
