Monsanto-fiasco

June 5, 2013: UPDATE:  Reports are coming out that this is a deception by MSM:  http://farmwars.info/?p=10771

Original Story:

The world’s largest producer of genetically modified seeds, Monsanto, has apparently given up on attempts to spread its genetically modified plant varieties in Europe. A German media report said the firm would end all lobbying for approval.

Monsanto Europe spokesman Brandon Mitchener was quoted as saying the company would no longer engage in any lobbying for such plants on the continent, adding that at the moment the firm was unwilling to apply for approval of any GM plants.

Monsanto said its decision was partly based on low demand from European farmers. “We’ve understood that such plants don’t have any broad acceptance in European societies,” Monsanto Germany spokeswoman Ursula Lüttmer-Ouazane commented. “We haven’t been bale to make any progress over the years, and it’s counter-productive to tilt against windmills,” she added.
