India’s regulation co-controlled by industry

On August 1, Aruna Rodrigues and her co-petitioners' Public Interest Litigation could once again be back before India's Supreme Court with the Government of India, on bahalf of the GM regulators - the GEAC - arguing for a dilution of the restrictions that the Court has already placed on GM crop trials. In the press release below, the petitioners draw attention to the open alliance between the GEAC and industry-backed GM lobbyists. In particular, they call for the sacking of the GEAC's co-chairman.
