Description[?]:
| The Agricultural Reform Bill [2323] as proposed by the Liberal party of Aloria: Article 1) The Liberal Party firmly believes in the potential of genetically modified crops both for economic and social uses. As a result , the LPA proposes to open up a free market in GM crops and research. We feel this action is particularly urgent as there is no clear policy on this matter at this time. Article 2) The LPA fully supports local governmental powers as a vital cog in the efficient running of the nation. The Liberal Party also realises the importance of bringing decision making as close to the people as possible. As a result of this, we propose to allow local governments the freedom to implement their own policies concerning the regulation of pesticides. |
