  • Destruction of Public and Governmental Experiments of GMO in Europe
    Destruction of public and governmental experiments of GMO in Europe Marcel Kuntz* Laboratory Physiologie Cellulaire Végétale (CEA / CNRS / INRA / Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble) 17 rue des Martyrs F-38054 Grenoble cedex 9 - France *the author is Director of Research at CNRS but is not the spokesman of the institutions for which he works Conflict of interest: the author declares no financial conflict of interest. Being a scientist from a public institution, the author has an obvious interest in freedom of research. Running title : GMO destruction Introduction Field trial vandalism was sporadic before the end of the 90s but became a phenomenon with important consequences at the end of this decade. Strategically planned GMO field trial destruction in Europe was initiated June 7th 1997 at Saint Georges d’Espéranches (Isère, France), where a group of radical farmers’ Union and “Green” activists cut down an experimental rapeseed trial belonging to Monsanto. However, GMO destruction has not been limited to trials implemented by private companies, nor to outdoor experiments. To the best of my knowledge, no official compilation of destructions of GMO trials from academic or governmental research institutes in Europe is available. The purpose of this article is to list them in a factual manner and to highlight their main characteristics. About 80 acts of vandalism against academic or governmental research on GMOs are identified, mainly for 4 countries, namely Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and examples are also provided for Italy and Belgium. The general conclusions that can be drawn from these acts are also discussed. Academic and governmental research on GMOs has been the target of numerous acts of vandalism in Europe: An overview France Field trials of two teams from the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), implemented at Gaudiès (Ariège) were destroyed on 2nd June 1999 and on 13th April 2000.
