ZAGREB, Dec 10 (Hina) - Environmental Protection and Zoning Minister Bozo Kovacevic said at a round table on genetically modified organisms (GMO) Monday that all products containing GMO should be appropriately marked so that a
consumer has an option to chose between products. The ministry organised a round table on a protocol on biological safety in order to re-examine the public's opinion about GMO before the ratification of the Kartagena Protocol. The fact that the GMO food is not being produced in Croatia and that initiatives for the stimulation of ecological agriculture were getting stronger, opens a unique possibility for Croatia to be recognised as a country of preserved nature and healthy food, Kovacevic said. Representatives of various ministries and non-governmental ecology organisations supported the Environmental Ministry's standpoint regarding GMO.(hina) np sb
