EMAIL YOUR GOVERNMENT TODAY and ask them to vote AGAINST new
proposals to force several EU countries to lift their national
bans on genetically modified (GM) food and crops -- bans that
these countries have put in place for safety reasons!

The European Commission has tabled these proposals for the
next meeting of EU environment ministers on 24 June -- despite
the fact that no-one knows whether GM food is safe or not.
It's good for the biotech industry, and the European
Commission believes that's enough reason to force it into the
supermarkets.

As you may remember (from a previous cyber action), the
Commission tried this last year already, but governments
decided against the proposals. This was a big success, but we
didn't get quite enough votes to stop the Commission from
trying again.

In order to completely stop any further attempts, European
governments must vote against the proposals with a so-called
"qualified majority", the weighted voting system used in
Europe. Therefore it is very important that countries do not
simply abstain but vote against the Commission.

On this page, you will also be able to see how your government
voted last year on the same issue.
