Press Release: EC approval for GMO oilseed rape poses threat to environment and democracy

Environmental group Greenpeace is unhappy about a decision by the European Commission on 31 August 2005 permitting the import of genetically engineered (GE) oilseed rape, produced by US company Monsanto. This press release calls for the decision to be revoked and for EU authorisation procedures on GE crops to be overhauled.
