The agricultural Union regrets, via press release, that the European Commission has approved the cultivation of transgenic potato produced by Basf. According to Unió Pagesos, this decision is a step further, in genetically modified food, and also, in a covert manner.
Unió de Pagesos complaint approval by the EC, with the "complicity" of the central Government.
