Campaign for a GM-Free Oxfordshire

Oxford FoE campaigning for a GM-free OxfordshireThe main objective of our current food campaign is to make Oxfordshire a GM-free zone. We believe this is possible because of an EU directive (2001/18/EC, Article 19) which mentions the protection of "geographical areas" from genetically modifed crops. We are suggesting that Oxfordshire County Council declares the county to be a GM-free zone and asks the Government to use the EU directive to protect Oxfordshire from future releases of GM crops and food.
