This year there are many claims in connection with problems of GMOs. However, attempts to introduce mandatory labelling of GM products have not passed on the recent vote.
The law Maui imposes a moratorium on the cultivation of genetically modified crops, while the research did not confirm their safety. The moratorium may be cancelled only after a vote of the Board of the County of Maui.
The voters of the district a small majority won the vote, taking the initiative to ban the production of GM crops. The biotech companies have invested $8 million in a vigorous campaign against this initiative.
Experts in the US have warned about the upcoming trials, and Monsanto feels quite confident. The company representatives expressed confidence in their lawsuits, and hope that things will be a rational outcome.
