Czech scientists recommend changes to EU biotech policy

摘要

Czech scientists have published a white paper recommending changes to remove politics from decision-making about biotech crops in Europe. The white paper, which summarizes the experience of Czech scientists working with biotech crops, appears under the auspices of an EU project called MOBITAG and is published by the Biology Center ASCR. "Many European scientists are disturbed by the fact that political factors and ideology prevent unbiased assessment of GM technology in some EU countries, with a negative effect on the whole [European] Community," says lead author Frantisek Sehnal.
