repeal decree that opens the door to genetically modified seeds in Peru

Organizaciones civiles piden derogar decreto que abre puertas a semillas transgénicas en Perú

Mediante un pronunciamiento emitido ayer, un grupo de organizaciones civiles defensoras de la biodiversidad, de la producción agraria limpia, la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria y la gastronomía, expresaron su rechazo al DS 003-2011 del Ministerio de Agricultura (Minag) y solicitaron al Gobierno su inmediata derogatoria “por ser una norma inconsulta y lesiva a los objetivos supremos de nuestra patria”.

Según el documento, el mencionado decreto “ha sido impuesto por gestión de funcionarios y asesores del Minag directamente interested in the business of genetically modified seeds, thus requiring a research process to "identify those responsible for the consequences arising as a result of this standard."

other hand, require Congress to debate the draft law on temporary moratorium on the entry of GMOs. Also, the Ministry of Environment require a "clear demarcation on the technical and political issue, even on the assumption that they would have achieved consensus and Minam Minag to give way to the decree in question."

also apply to the regional governments of Ayacucho, San Martin, Huanuco, Cusco and Lambayeque who declared themselves as GMO-Free Regions, to express their rejection of the decree published on 15 April.
