It is truly appalling in how blatant a manner Ministers Clement and Bulmahn are ignoring consumers' rejection of genetically modified food. How can a minister of a democratically elected government side so openly with an industry when consumers repeatedly and clearly reject this industry in surveys? The only German interests lie with Bayer - the remaining providers are foreign companies. And solely for this reason, not only is consumer will ignored, but for example organic food production is made more difficult (because the pollen from genetically modified plants are simply not stopped at field boundaries by some magic)? That's a great understanding of democracy from the ministers.
