| Date | 15:17:17, December 17, 2012 CET | From | Order and Progress Party | To | Debating the Legalization of GMO's |
| Message | Since there's no serious finding by the scientific community that GMO's can induce health problems, we propose, in the interest of economic and scientific development, a formal legalization of GMO's production, trade and research. Because of anti-GMO propaganda by some radical leftist, environmentalist groups, we fear that a part of consumer public have an unscientific prejudice against GMO's, so we think that companies shouldn't be forced to list GM content in product's label. |
