Dear colleagues,
According to a national opinion poll (Omnibus system, made by IMAS) from in April, this year, 81,5% of Romanians want the Romanian authorities to ban genetically modified organisms and 74,1% don't want to consume genetically modified organisms. The results of the opinion poll give Romanian authorities a strong argument for an immediate ban on the GM maize MON810 (the only GM crop authorized within the EU).
The Genetically Modified Organisms Information Centre - InfOMG invites you to learn more details at the press conference which will take place on 13 May at the organic shop Cosul Verde (Piata Avram Iancu, nr. 13) - Cluj Napoca, Romania.
