He also happens to be Co-Chair of the biotech lobby group EAGLES* European Action on Global Life Sciences (www.efb-eagles.org), which is funded by the European Federation of Biotechnology.

Of course, a recent letter critical of GM written by myself was also not published. > Needless to say, I will keep sending my letter until they get sick of me.....! Just another example of vested interests destroying free speech in our 'democracy'. http://www.gmfreeireland.org/news/index.php > Related Link: http://www.gmfreeireland.org/mediawatch/index.php |
