The German Association of Biotechnology Industries (DIB) has criticized the planned introduction of so-called “GM-free” regions that are described in the current coalition agreements in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate and the plans of the EU Commission. The DIB Chairman Dr. Stefan Marcinowski (pictured) said at the annual press conference of the Organization in Frankfurt: “The target of the federal government for a bio-economy will remain, in many respects, a pipe dream if the innovative crops are blocked for political or ideological motives.”
