Gov ministers have approved the use of GM maize in the UK
sneaked it thru the arrogant b*****d's...

This snippet is in The Independent. today (Oct 29th).

Ministers back GM Maize.

Minsters have agreed to go ahead with the use of GM Maize without waiting for parliament to discuss it, in spite of assurances that MP's would debate the issue first. Caroline Fl8int, the junior health minister, said is was authorised owing to a technicality in the EU and the summer recess of parliament.

(That's all report says, no doubt FoE and others will jump on this Monday)

In the meantime--- Just how much more arrogant can you get !- This is the thin end of the wedge...

I *think* this repeated post, from the newswire at the weekend, refers to GM Maize 1570 which *EU Commisioners* have approved for import into the EU for Food, Feed and Processing :-( Sadly overriding the EU Parliament which couldn't conclude a majority on the issue. However, as it was posted before the announcement who knows!

For what little info it gives the reuters report on the commissions decision about the 5th GM allowed into the EU - their decision -  http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=scienceNews&storyID=2005-11-03T132519Z_01_YUE348248_RTRIDST_0_SCIENCE-FOOD-EU-GMO-DC.XML
