Greenpeace activists from 10 European countries stop the unloading of the 'Hope', a vessel carrying about 25.000 tonnes of genetically engineered (GE) soya from Argentina in the Polish port of Gdynia. The action is a protest against the environmental problems linked with GE-farming in Argentina, where the GE soya plantations are causing deforestation, dramatic increase in the spraying of toxic herbicides and infertility of the soil.
