De Castro: no protectionism, barriers but anti-unfair competition

"To facilitate the consumption of Italian products is necessary to comply with the rules and regulations that prevent distortions of competition." The Minister for Agriculture, Paolo De Castro, draws the line on which to try to forge alliances within the European Union . The first test came from the Council of Agriculture Ministers which discussed the problem of relationship between organic and GMO crops . The minister explained: "The old tools for agriculture, scattered small grants, no longer needed. Should una politica agraria nuova, non protezionistica, con un’attenzione particolare alla grande distribuzione ». Anche perché gli aiuti sono un semplice palliativo visto che «è inutile produrre a Niscemi carciofi senza anticrittogamici se poi nel mercato troviamo gli ortaggi egiziani coltivati con prodotti da noi considerati nocivi». Ecco perché «è necessario far rispettare le regole Ue agli altri Paesi» e per farlo «serve una presenza europea che crei un sistema di regole che eviti la distorsione della concorrenza ».In questo quadro, allora, è possibile puntare al mercato mondiale. Spiega il ministro: «Le nostre imprese per crescere devono uscire dal mercato nazionale saturated and become stronger in overseas markets and this can become important and strategic large retailers. " De Castro takes as its model the French experience that has linked the farmers Alpine with Carrefour: "We'll have to find ways to be able to have in Italy a strategic alliance that brings our products not only on the shelves of national distribution but also in other countries. " We return to organic methods, the need to provide a legal framework of this production in Europe. Italy's position is clear: "In the field of biological claim a threshold of GMO-free seed that sia molto al di sotto dello 0,9% previsto per le colture convenzionali», spiega il ministro. Solo lo zero strumentale, infatti, «ci dà la massima garanzia. La questione riguarda le sementi destinate alla produzione biologica certificata Ogm free, quindi non possiamo avere la stessa soglia di tolleranza prevista per le sementi tradizionali ». La Commissaria europea all’agricoltura Mariann Fischer Boel sostiene invece l’applicazione anche al biologico della stessa soglia di tolleranza sulla presenza fortuita di Ogm applicata alle produzioni tradizionali. In caso contrario, la commissaria ritiene che i costi di produzione sarebbero molto elevati per il biologico. Il confronto, therefore promises to be tight even if the line of Italy, which aims at reducing the current rate of tolerance can find the support of Austria, Belgium, Poland, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia and Cyprus. The front, however, could also expand to France and Spain. De Castro was asked to return in the coming weeks in Paris by French counterpart, Dominique Bussereau. The Italian minister will then meet in late June, the English counterpart, Elena Espinosa, at the summit of the International Bureau of the vine and wine (OIV). On that occasion De Castro should also address the issue of the presence of wood chips in wine. On the domestic front to the minister, during a rally in Palermo, ha annunciato la possibilità di allungare i tempi per il pagamento rateizzato del contributo unificato. Secondo De Castro «non ci sarà nessun condono tombale per le migliaia di agricoltori italiani che dovranno pagare i contributi agricoli unificati. Pagheranno, ma pagheranno il giusto e con una rateizzazione la più lunga possibile, invece dei 15 anni proposti dal ministro Alemanno, si può arrivare a 20 anni».

Luxembourg: he wants to represent "GM free"

Il Lussemburgo non vuole che gli organismi geneticamente modificati (Ogm) vengano utilizzati sul suo territorio. "Noi vogliamo diventare una zona libera da Ogm", ha spiegato ai giornalisti Agriculture Minister Fernand Boden, Luxembourg, in the margins of the informal meeting of EU agriculture ministers being held in Krems in northern Austria. "I believe in Luxembourg is more reasonable that all farmers group themselves to say in a voluntary charter: not want GMOs, "he said. Moreover, he continued, "Our agriculture is very fragmented and is difficult to ensure coexistence." Boden also explained that the Government of the Grand Duchy has "prepared a bill, already submitted to the European Commission, which says that we want to become a zone free of GMOs." For the Minister of Luxembourg, there are two decisions to be taken by the EU Commission. In the first place "is required under EU rules otherwise - he said - we will not find a solution, because now everyone do what they want." Furthermore, "the European Commission should develop and propose thresholds for seed , from which distances are calculated to ensure coexistence between GM crops and GM free." Personally - Boden concluded - "I understand that some may declare itself GMO-free regions in Europe and in other hand are allowed. There is much talk of subsidiarity and within a certain framework could give them this opportunity.

GMOs. Eurobarometer: 58% of Europeans are against it. The comment by Coldiretti

21/06/2006 - Coldiretti says the results of the Eurobarometer study on biotech. According to the confederation "The results that emerge from the survey are the most important opinion that the European authorities must follow in making future choices."
Over 50% of Europeans support the use of biotechnology in medicine, while 58 out of 100 Europeans say they are opposed to development instead of GMOs in agriculture and food sectors . The study points out a Eurobarometer on bioethics. "The fact that the vast majority of European citizens - said Coldiretti - does not consider should encourage the development of GMOs in food and demonstrates the need to respect the principle of precaution and to invest in research to avoid opening the way for the risk of contaminating the environment and irreversibly damage the health of citizens ".
The results that emerge from the survey represent - supports the confederation - the most important opinion that the European authorities must follow in making the next choice, even in reference to the proposal to introduce an unacceptable threshold of contamination of agricultural seed . In Italy - says the Coldiretti - 11 regions, 2355 municipalities, 41 provinces and 50 mountain communities have already joined the campaign "GMO-free" sustained by Coldiretti to prevent contamination by biotech their territories and to preserve its natural heritage and food industries. Italy - Coldiretti concludes - with the European leader in food quality, obtained thanks to the ban on GM crops in the fields and national leadership in local and organic products, is among the European countries most affected by the principle precautions to avoid irreversible choices to the detriment of businesses and consumers.

Two seminars on organic seed

" Sementi e materiali di propagazione ” e “ L'assenza di OGM nei mangimi ” il 5 luglio.

Tra le varie problematiche che il produttore biologico si trova ad affrontare assumono particolare rilievo la scarsa disponibilità di sementi e materiali di propagazione da produzione biologica e il rischio di contaminazione da OGM dei mangimi zootecnici. Questi temi sono stati considerati prioritari per l’agricoltura biologica dai Gruppi Temporanei di Competenza (GTC) “Orticoltura biologica” e “Zootecnia Biologica” che si sono costituiti nell’ambito del Progetto PrISMA. I GTC sono composti da consulenti agricoli chiamati da Veneto Agricoltura a fare da promotori e animatori della futura Comunità professionale dei consulenti in agricoltura biologica. Sarà questo il luogo in cui i consulenti troveranno informazioni, servizi divulgativi e occasioni di incontro, crescita e condivisione della propria professionalità. La crescita della Comunità professionale dei consulenti in agricoltura biologica potrà rafforzare l’intero settore biologico del Veneto: le aziende agricole e di trasformazione potranno così acquisire nuove conoscenze, servizi informativi e formativi, sviluppare relazioni tra i diversi soggetti della filiera. A breve sarà disponibile, sul sito di Veneto Agricoltura, lo sportello BioInforma, from which you can access databases, discussion forums, training courses e-learning and other services dedicated to the field of organic farming. The first session of the seminar aims to examine the availability of organic seeds , with particular reference to horticulture, it is expected the participation of different representatives of the sector: farmers, seed producers , responsible for certification, organic distributors. The second session will try to give some answers to the doubts about the risk of producing GMO organic farm. Will address the risk of contamination and will be shown how to enable certification "No GMO" on the company level.
