Thanks to Years of pressure from environmental
groups, the consumers, our cyber activists and
Greenpeace, today we can announce a victory for
the environment following the announcement by
Monsanto that they would suspend further
development or open field trials of its
genetically engineered, Roundup Ready wheat.

• In 1999, the caterers at Monsanto- _ UK's main
  offices banned GE food at the staff restaurant in
  response to "concern raised by our customers".
  The customers in this case being Monsanto staff
  themselves!
• the European Union imposed a ban on GM crops in
  1999. The EU ban was subsequently lifted in 2004
  however, due to consumer rejection the EU food
  market remains closed to GMOs.
• Today Basmati Rice exporters have woken up to the
  reality that they could lose invaluable markets
  in the EU and the Middle-East if India were to
  commercialise GE Rice.
