EU May Allow Members Home Rule On GMO Foods

think_nix (1467471) writes The EU Parliament is paving the way for EU Nation States to decide on banning or allowing GMO foods within their respective territories. An further article at Der Spiegel (German) (Google translation) quotes the German Health Minister's claim that if countries cannot specifically, scientifically argue for a ban, this would allow GMO companies to initiate legal actions against the banning ruling states. Furthermore it was noted, given EU Parliaments current stance on not reintroducing border and customs controls between member states, this will make checks and controls of GMO foods between member states even more difficult.

Not to forget that is regardless of how much the US wants it to disappear in order to ensure US dominance ie the worst of Greece's debts were crafter by a US corporations specifically to cheat EU rules. The US is seeking to dump the Ukraine on the EU in order to further destabilise the EU. The conservative UK is colluded with the US under the five eyes conspiracy, to disrupt the EU. The pesky euro just become to powerful against the US dollar, so as said by Nuland "FUCK THE EU", a lot more was going on there, than just some crazed scheme to destabilise just one country. So now create conflict between Russia and the EU in order to cut off gas supplies and further damage the EU economy, added benefit you cut off exports from the EU to Russia and who does that hurt the most EU or Russia and who benefits, the US and whoops China, now that isn't all that well thought out either. The corporate states of America, never to be trusted with anything, too many heads pulling in too many directions, the corporate hydra.
