Victory: Another EU Country Extends Ban on GMO Crops
"No GM crops will be grown in our country”
The new EU regulations are allowing for almost a complete sweep of GMO banning throughout Europe. Bulgaria’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food has announced that they will extend a GMO-crop cultivation ban already in place to keep their image as a ‘clean, green’ country intact.
Bulgaria sent out ten letters via the Ministry to the European Commission to ensure that “no GM crops will be grown in our country.”
Bulgaria has led the way with GMO banning in Europe, with the ban of 8 GM maize varieties, one GM soy variety, and one GM carnation variety – sending a clear message that crops which have been tinkered with in a lab are not favorable to Bulgarians.
For years now, the country has stood strong against companies like Monsanto, Dow, and Syngenta to ensure that its people are eating food that isn’t questionable in nature. Bulgaria’s former Agriculture Minister Prof. Dimitar Grekov has even said that the ban on GMOs in Bulgaria will never be canceled!
Germany, Italy, Scotland, and many other EU nations have taken actions against GMOs, instituting some type of restriction or ban. And Russia recently announced a huge ban of GMOs.
Meanwhile, in the US, we are fighting a sitting duck Congress, bought-out Senate, and even a president who can’t seem to follow through with his campaign promise to label GMOs, let alone support a ban on them.

Yes very good news.
Another country that realizes, Self sufficiency is the true key to environmental stewardship and sustainment well into the future.
Don’t rely on others to do what you can do yourselves.
good news, to bad the US is so fricken corrupt.
Yes very good news. Another country that will need to import our gmos since they have turned their backs on progress.
It is the Monsanto shill – the rooster of the malodorous midden, the dung-resistant weed that we have been shoveling over to no effect. A pestiferous breed indeed. Can’t you read the writing on the wall? The party is over!
Lol, am I wrong? Will they still import gmos? Could it be that you are just babbling?
They are not, the corporations are feeding them, duh.
So there are no individual livestock feeders in Bulgaria? You really don’t have a clue now do you.
Again, the world is millions of years old, they just do what they did before.
LOL, the world is actually BILLIONS of years old, look things up before opening your before embarrassing yourself.
Sorry, I forgot you are looking at every comment for argument purposes.
Correction, 4.54 billion years old.
Is that better?
No just looking at facts, which obviously don’t mean much to you.
I thought the carbon dating said the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, GMO Roberts.
Yes they do. There the dusty boxes sitting on the shelves, or at the food banks. You can always flip sliders at Mac and Don’s.
No they are used primarily in livestock feed just as they are here, but nice try though.
They have turned their backs on POISON.
kinda hard to turn your back on raising gmos when they weren’t even raising them in the first place. Funny how they still will be importing them.
Here.
Again nothing to add so you must not disagree.
