European
Union (EU)
agriculture
Commissioner
Franz
Fischler has
warned an
organic
farming
conference
that no food
can now be
completely
free of
genetically
modified
organisms. As a result, he said that a moral absolutist stance in setting acceptable thresholds for the levels of GMOs in organic and conventional products is unrealistic. Instead, realistic advice from politicians should be taken. “We have
been banished
from
paradise. The
idea of a
zero per cent
threshold was
no doubt
possible in
the Garden of
Eden, but not
in the real
world,” said
Dr Fischler.
