On Monday, 13 March the Third Conference on the Biosafety Protocol (MOP3) started in Curitiba, Brazil. The Biosafety Protocol is the only international treaty that sets obligatory rules for the trade with GMOs. Main issue of this meeting is the question how GMOs have to be labelled (Article 18). GMO producers favour the very vague label that something "may contain" GMOs, while most countries want a clear description of which GMO is contained in a shipment.
