'Scary GM maize' banner unveiled in Brussels

EU environment ministers should reform authorisation of GM products.

The action coincides with the last in a string of meetings of national experts who are looking into reforming the EU’s authorisation process for GM products and precedes a meeting of European environment ministers who will assess their findings next week.

In an a-maize-ing feat at the heart of the EU quarter in Brussels this morning, Greenpeace activists climbed a building on Schuman square to display a giant banner of a ‘scary’ genetically modified (GM) corn plant bearing the slogan Stop GMOs’.
