SIRC - Media Watch 20-04-99 GM crops and food GenetiX Snowball picketed fields owned by Lord de Ramsey, head of the Environment Agency, in protest against his plans to allow GM crop tests on his land. Placards were placed around the property proclaiming the message "Biohazard". Michael Meacher, meanwhile, has made public his intentions to overhaul the Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment(Acre), replacing ten of its thirteen existing members, who according to Friends of the Earth are all closely connected to the biotech industry. The government warns chip manufacturers not to import genetically modified potatoes - currently on sale in the US as Monsanto’s New Leaf brand - to counter the national shortage brought about by the failure of last year’s crop. Environmental campaigners such as Friends of the Earth have urged the government to "act quickly as the French have done to ban the planting of [GM] crops with wild relatives" in response to scientists’ discovery of pollen spread from a GM rape trial crop to wild turnip plants. The level of rational thinking in this area appears to be plummeting even further. [See SIRC's comments on the misuse of science in the GM debate -

"Government lack of safety standards for GM crops revealed" Media Briefing Michael Hansen For Consumers International January 10, 2003 Brussels, February 10th January 2003 The information contained in this media briefing will be presented by Michael Hansen, Ph.D., representing Consumers International, at today's meeting in Brussels, hosted by the German Marshall Fund on GM crops and the implications for the import and production of these crops in the developing world. MEDIA BRIEFING The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require safety testing for genetically engineered (GE) plants and has not formally approved any of the GE corn (maize) varieties being grown in the United States: The FDA's original policy on GE/GM plants was introduced at a press conference at an industry gathering on May 28, 1992 by then Vice-President Dan Quayle as a de-regulatory initiative. The policy was based on the notion "that the new techniques [e.g. genetic engineering] are extensions at the molecular level of traditional methods and will be used to achieve the same goals as pursued with traditional plant breeding" (57 FR 22991, May 29, 1992), and therefore should be regulated in the same way. In other words, no requirement for human safety testing. But FDA will conduct "voluntary safety consultations" with companies. The fact that FDA does not approve GE/GM crops can be seen in the letter FDA sends to the company after completion of a "safety consultation:"

74. JOINT MEDIA RELEASE 27th March 2002 JOINT media RELEASE 27th March 2002 Rather than GM crops reducing the use of harmful chemicals as the biotech industry claimed, weedkiller applications http://www.foeeurope.org/press/GL_27.03.02_GM_Crops.htm

JOINT MEDIA RELEASE th March 2002 GM CROPS CAUSE MASSIVE, UNMANAGEABLE CONTAMINATION Europe cannot ignore official warnings, say leading environmental groups Brussels, 27.03.2002 – Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth (FoE) and the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) today urged EU governments and the European Commission to safeguard European agriculture and biodiversity by preventing any genetically modified (GM) crops of beet and oilseed rape being grown in the EU. A recent report by the European Environmental Agency (EEA) [1] confirmed a risk of massive contamination if GM crops are commercially grown in Europe. Based on the EEA’s conclusions, such a risk is unmanageable particularly for oilseed rape and beet, the environmental NGOs said. In its report, the EEA warned that: “oilseed rape can be described as a high risk crop for crop-to-crop gene flow and from crops to wild relatives  It is predicted that plants carrying multiple [herbicide] resistance genes will become common post-GM release  Oilseed rape is cross compatible with a number of wild relatives and thus the likelihood of gene flow to these species is high”. The problem was already recognised by the French government, which banned cultivation of GM oilseed rape in 1998.[2] Agrochemical companies are now actively marketing new chemicals designed to deal with herbicide-tolerant superweeds. Rather than GM crops reducing the use of harmful chemicals as the biotech industry claimed, weedkiller applications for herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape in Canada are actually higher than for conventional oilseed rape. Between 1997-2000, there was an average of 2.13 herbicide applications per crop with GM Roundup Ready and Liberty Link crops, compared to 1.78 applications for conventional varieties.[5]

RIRDC Media Releases - Index International expert on new crops to visit Gatton 2 August 2004 Australian landholders have a rare opportunity to learn about the latest developments in new crops from one of the world's leading experts at the second Australian New Crops Conference to be held at the University of Queensland Gatton campus in September. US-based Professor Gary Jolliff is one of several new crop experts from the US, South Africa and several other countries, as well as many Australian new crop experts participating in the conference, under the banner of "Innovation and change for agriculture and horticulture." Professor Jolliff will be addressing the Second Australian New Crops Conference on the topic "Innovation and New Crop Enterprise Development" on Wednesday 22 September 2004. He will be on the campus from the evening of Tuesday 22 September till noon on Friday 24 September 2004 and will also be participating in a number of pre-conference workshops on 20 and 21 September 2004. Conference Organising Committee chairman Dr Rob Fletcher said this is a wonderful opportunity for Australian primary producers, rural entrepreneurs and all those interested in new crops to hear about the latest developments in new crops and also to discuss their own specific new crops difficulties with experts from Australia and overseas.

79. Media Release - Diversify Into New Crops & Improve Profitability media Release Diversify into new crops improve profitability. http://www.rirdc.gov.au/pub/media_releases/14jun04.html

Home SEARCH Contact Publications Eshop ... RIRDC Media Releases - Index 17 August 1994 Diversification has long been touted as a means to spread risk, improve profitability and achieve improved sustainability, according to Dr Rob Fletcher. However, farmers looking to undertake new enterprises often have a range of motives. "Ask any innovator why he or she is obsessed with something new and the replies can be quite surprising" said Dr Fletcher, a new crops researcher and developer at the University of Queensland Gatton. “New crop advocates usually say they were motivated by the belief they could improve profitability and the primary purpose is to make money. However, this is often found not to be the real reason!” Dr Fletcher said one of the principal drivers of activity in new crops appears to be curiosity. “Many primary producers and entrepreneurs are willing to try something, simply because it is scarce and the scarcer the better." "In addition, growers have often expressed a desire to be able to afford to improve their properties so they can be passed on to the next generation in a better condition than they received them." Dr Fletcher said there is a broad range of reasons behind the rising interest in new crops.

80. The UK Patent Office - About Us And Policies - Notices - Media Relations Contrac Action Aid Stop Patents on crops campaign Such patents relating to new crop varieties will not prevent farmers in developing countries from growing http://www.patent.gov.uk/about/notices/2002/action.htm

Home Notices Action Aid "Stop Patents on Crops" campaign The Government appreciates concerns about patent rights in the area of plants and food crops, and we need to ensure that we create the right balance between encouraging investment and protecting the interests of people in developing countries. The Government believes that modern technology provides great scope for producing improved crop varieties which are, for example, higher yielding and resistant to drought, diseases and pests. Without the protection that patents and other intellectual property rights provide, private companies will not invest in the research and development of new products which are needed to improve food productions to feed the 8 billion people that will share our planet by 2020. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) Trade Related Intellectual Property (TRIPS) Agreement confirms the established principle that it is not possible to be granted a valid patent for something that is already known. According to this principle, neither traditional varieties of staple food crops nor related traditional knowledge can be patentable in themselves. Furthermore, patents are granted on a national basis. A patent granted, for example in the United Kingdom or the United States, only affords rights in the United Kingdom or the United States. Such patents relating to new crop varieties will not prevent farmers in developing countries from growing their own traditional staple food crop varieties for their own use, or for continued export to any part of the world.
