Peru’s Congress approves 10-year GMO ban

LIMA — Peru’s Congress announced Friday it overwhelmingly approved a 10-year moratorium on imports of genetically modified organisms in order to safeguard the country’s biodiversity.

The measure bars GMOs — including seeds, livestock, and fish — from being imported for cultivation or to be raised locally.

Exceptions include the use of GMO products for research purposes in a closed environment, but those will be closely monitored, the legislature’s official news service said.

The bill, approved late Thursday, now goes to President Ollanta Humala to be signed into law. Humala, who has been in power since late July, has repeatedly said he opposes GM programs.

8. Our neighbors in Latin America are showing us "The Way Out"!
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 11:39 AM by bvar22
What they have accomplished is nothing short of near Bloodless Revolutions.
They have given us the Blue Print.
ALL we need is the willingness to organize.

Hopefully, OWS is the start.
WE outnumber Them by 99%!


"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales


VIVA Democracy!!!
I pray we get some here soon!


Solidarity99!
