“White Book: genetically modified crops, EU regulations and research experience from the Czech republic” has been just published in Prague, Czech Republic.
The White Book was prepared under the auspices of the 7FP REGPOT-2008-1 project “Building up Modern Biotechnologies for Agriculture” (acronym MOBITAG, GA 229518).
Most Czech scientists working with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) relevant for agriculture and related activities were invited to express their opinions and provide a short annotation on their research. Their names and addresses are provided at the end of the book, following a conjoint appeal calling for a revision of the current EU legislation on genetically modified crops.
This book, including a call from Czech scientists, is neither an advertisement nor an advocacy for the deployment of GM crops – it is a call for the use of critical intelligence and knowledge in the decision making process on this technology.
The book and its contents can be distributed freely.
