This week, I am in Strasbourg to cover the Model of the European Union, live from the Parliament.
The simulation is a perfect way to learn how the E.U works for young people who play the role of MEPs, Ministers of the Council, lobbyists or even interpreters and journalists. On Sunday, Professor Gernot Klepper gave a speech. He is a German economist specialized on environmental issues at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, based in Kiel, Germany. He provided for the two hundreds participants some technical information about G.M.O. Indeed, over the next few days, they will have to discuss and to negotiate whether or not Genetically Modified Organisms should definitely be allowed within the EU boarders. I took advantage of this speech to ask the expert about the Millennium Development goal number n°1: hunger. Does he think it could be useful to reduce hunger in the world? What is the role of big food companies? He answers those questions in the video below.
In addition, I will do my best before the end of the week to work on another post related to this issue with more technical facts. But I have two questions for you:
Are G.M.Os already used in your country? And if not, do many people want to see them everywhere?
I think your video is missing? Btw, I’ll also be posting on the subject with interviews and videos from Bulgarian scientists and green party activists - in about two weeks time.
Yes, I don’t know it is not working. I am trying to fix it out ASAP.
Pierre, lovely job, well done, I am waiting for more from you!
