| Message | Agree more or less. But GM-products have to be labelled, you can check that. So I think that this is a step too far. |

| Message | For the normal citizen yes. But when you sell g. m. crops to foreign countries or companies, you can make them invertile. So they must buy it every year. Do you have a beter idea? |

| Message | GM-products are not as bad as they sound. We can give crops genes that make them to produce substances we need and so on. Domesticated animals were genetically modified through artificial selection and we dont hate them. However we believe that 3-things need to be taken care of with GM-organisms: -They shouldnt come in contact with nature (Crops could disturb the ongoing ecosystem) -Large corporations should not operate them (Look at what Monsanto is doing; they are "de facto" misusing the technology -GM-products should be labelled (It is not so hard to put a label on a product, is it?) Therefore we think that imported GMF/GMCs should be allowed, but the production here should not and is not allowed. |

| Message | Poor countries usually dont have GMF/GMCs. Plus it should be a choice of our consumer, whether he wants to buy a GMP, unlike many countries, we´ve got a lot of regulation to prevent corporations to influence us. |
