Stimati membri ai presei,
Dragi colegi,

In atasamentul acestui mesaj veti gasi comunicatul de presa intitulat: "Marile sindicate negociaza contaminarea genetica a agriculturii romanesti / Fara organisme modificate genetic in campurile noastre!".
Semnatarii acestui comunicat isi exprima ingrijorarea profunda fata de una dintre revendicarile sindicatelor FNPAR si AGROSTAR prin care acestea promoveaza organismele modificate genetic in agricultura romaneasca. FNPAR si AGROSTAR au facut recent apel public la mobilizarea agricultorilor romani pentru a participa la demonstratii ce vor avea loc la Bucuresti in data de 2 septembrie.In documentul oficial care sta la baza revendicarilor celor doua sindicate este enuntat la punctul 7: "Introducerea in cultura a organismelor modificate genetic si in special a soiei si porumbului modificate genetic".
Ca urmare a sesizarilor, Asociatia BIO-Romania care initial semnase documentul in forma propusa de FNPAR si AGROSTAR, s-a disociat in mod public de pozitia pro-organisme modificate genetic a celor doua sindicate. Consideram ca rectificarea de pozitie  a  BIO-Romania este un semnal pozitiv pentru micii agricultori.

=========================

Dear members of the press,
Dear colleagues,

In the attachment of this message you will find the press release entitled: "Large Romanian unions negotiate GM contamination of agriculture / No Genetically Modified Organisms in our fields".

The signers of this document wish to express worry about the fact that the large Romanian farming unions FNPAR and AGROSTAR have revealed that they are promoting genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Romanian agriculture. FNPAR and AGROSTAR recently made a public call mobilizing Romanian farmers to participate in demonstrations which will take place in Bucharest on the second of September. In the official document which states the list of demands of the two unions the seventh demand made is „The introduction of cultivation of genetically modified plants, especially genetically modified corn and soy.” Another supporter of the request, the Bio Romania Association, which initally signed the request proposed by FNPAR and AGROSTAR, has now disassocated itself publicly from the pro-GMO position of these unions, because of what it represents in a legal and moral sense for organic agriculture in Romania. We feel that this change of position is a positive signal for small farmers.

This press release is signed by the following Romanian structures: a) Eco Ruralis Association - in support of Romanian peasants, b) COZIA Farmers Association, c) Genetically Modified Organisms Information Centre - InfOMG, d) Sustainable Hosman Association, e) Slow Food Turda Association, f) Organic farmers Cooperative BIOCOOP, g) Fair Trade Association Efectul Fluture, h)The Independent Centre for the Development of Environmental Resources CIDRM, i) The Ecological Club Transylvania.
