快讯:欧盟官方拒绝孟山都说客!

(直言简讯),2017-09-28.。

9月28日,欧美媒体报道,欧盟欧洲议会投票决定,禁止美国孟山都公司说客出席该会议。这是欧盟官方首次决定拒绝企业参与该机构会议。

报道分析说,禁止的理由主要是:孟山都公司拒绝出席关于指控该公司产品安全性的研讨听政会。还有分析说,孟山都公司和欧盟官员联手作弊声称转基因作物及其捆绑农药【安全】的真相已经暴露于世,欧盟机构借此表达了摆脱官商勾结的腐败阴影的意愿。

分析还说,与此同时,欧盟成员国正在决定是否彻底禁用孟山都草甘膦;众目睽睽之下,必须严防利益冲突干扰决定。美国法庭已经开始受理美国大批农户客户就孟山都产品造成的健康损害、生态危害和经济损失而提出的规模集体诉讼;法庭允许公开的孟山都内部邮件证明该公司为推销转基因作物及其捆绑农药而搞了大量欺骗活动。美国加州立法规定,孟山都产品草甘膦必须标识可致癌。世卫组织已向全球说明草甘膦可致癌。美国农业区四个州当局决定限用或禁用孟山都试图替代草甘膦的麦草畏。这些都是欧盟会议所必须认真考虑的。

读后感:过去,在欧洲,抵制或拒绝孟山都多是民众或非官方组织,而欧盟官方机构往往做出不得罪、甚至有利于孟山都的决定。这是头一次,欧盟官方机构公开表示拒绝孟山都公司。因此,故事似乎平淡无奇或小事一桩,但其意义足够重要。在彻底禁止转基因农业的道路上,欧洲又迈出了重要一步。

Monsanto banned from European Parliament.

By EUOBSERVER,2017-09-28, 12:19.

Monsanto employees are to be denied access to the European Parliament. The decision was taken Thursday by the conference of the presidents, which includes the institution\&\#39\;s president and political group leaders, after the chemical multinational refused to participate in a hearing on glyphosate, a weedkiller that is used in Monsanto\&\#39\;s Roundup product. The firm is suspected of influencing scientific assessments, on which EU decisions to authorise the product were based.

European MPs agreed that lobbyists representing controversial US-based agricultural giant Monsanto should be barred from the European Parliament after the company refused to attend a hearing on allegations that it influenced studies on the safety of its products.

The measure includes meeting MEPs, attending parliamentary committee meetings and using the parliament’s digital resources in Brussels or Strasbourg, following a vote in which all major parliamentary factions supported the ban.

MEPs withdraw parliamentary access after the firm shunned a hearing into allegations that it unduly influenced studies into the safety of glyphosate used in its RoundUp weedkiller.

Monsanto lobbyists have been banned from entering the European parliament after the multinational refused to attend a parliamentary hearing into allegations of regulatory interference.

It is the first time MEPs have used new rules to withdraw parliamentary access for firms that ignore a summons to attend parliamentary inquiries or hearings.

Monsanto officials will now be unable to meet MEPs, attend committee meetings or use digital resources on parliament premises in Brussels or Strasbourg.
