Gene Campaign criticises India’s ’silence’ at global bio-safety meet

India’s role at the recently held fourth Meeting of Parties at Bonn on the Cartagena Protocol on Bio-safety for developing a global Liability and Redress regime on Genetically Engineered Organisms (GEOs) has been severely criticised by the Gene Campaign which participated in the event. Suman Sahai of the Gene Campaign, who participated as an ”accredited NGO,” was disappointed that India played ”no role” at this crucial meeting. She charged India with ”falsely” attempting to show at the international meet that it had fully complied with the requirements of the Bio-safety Protocol on compulsory compliance standards for dealing with GEOs such as transgenic plants.
