EuropaBio is ‘the voice for the biotech industry at the EU level.’ I like this organisation’s page explaining what biotechnology is.
A month ago, EuropaBio told us that there’s an overwhelming scientific consensus on the safety of genetically modified (GM) crops. Carel du Marchie Sarvaas, Director of Agricultural Biotechnology at EuropaBio since 2010, said, ‘We need to help people understand how they and the environment can benefit from including GM in the European farmer’s agricultural toolkit.’
That’s a pretty clear statement of a pro-GM point of view, isn’t it? I’m watching and listening.

I wonder where EuropaBio’s funding comes from?
There’s lots of reading to be done on that website. Thanks for the link Sam.
Good question. Here’s what it says about its members http://www.europabio.org/members
I discovered EuropaBio today in an article by Jonathan Matthews of GMWatch, about Mark Lynas ‘The Repentant Environmentalist’ http://www.spinwatch.org/-articles-by-category-mainmenu-8/46-gm-industry/5563
