>European Commissioner for Consumer Policy, Emma Bonino, is hosting an
>internet chat line session on 15 March on a variety of questions including
>"Are GMOs really dangerous?".
>
>The chat line will operate between 18h and 20hr (GMT+1/CET) and you can log
>on at <http://europa.eu/chatbonino>http://europa.eu/chatbonino You will
need
to download specific
>software from the site which is available from there now. You can already
>submit questions IN ADVANCE, which will be used to launch the session.
>
>Jack Cunningham (UK Cabinet Minister with overall responsibility for
>biotechnology policy) recently sent a list of 46 questions to his advisers
>(leaked to the Guardian newspaper). One of these was: "Why don’t we
require
>a pharmaceutical type analysis of the safety of these foods with proper
>trials?"
>
>It might be helpful if A LOT of people asked Mrs Bonino this question, and
>mentioning that Jack Cunningham would like an answer to this question too.
>
>After all we know it when we are taking pharmaceuticals, but we don't know
>when we are eating GM food. So if anything testing for GM foods should be
>more rigorous than for pharmaceuticals. At present the opposite is true.
