| Message | Genetically modified crops offer radical new innovations to food production with worldwide implications, good and bad. The NLP would support more regulation of GM crops, but banning them altogether is a knee-jerk, close-minded response to a promising new technology. |
| Date | 09:49:27, August 18, 2007 CET | From | Common Party | To | Debating the GM Crops Reform |
| Message | I must agree with the NLP here. We cannot support the banning of a technology that can provide so much possible benefit to people. |
