Date: 2.3.2006
Environmentalists and consumer groups applauded the government’s move yesterday to stand firm on a ban prohibiting a genetically modified seed developed by US biotech group Monsanto on the grounds that it poses an environmental risk.
Deputy Agriculture Minister Alexandros Kontos signed the decision that extends a current ban on the MON810 seed type from entering the country for another 18 months.
