Greenpeace About a  Presidential Veto: a Good Decision

President  Bronislaw Komorowski has vetoed the bill on seeds, containing 
provisions on  genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Spokesman for Greenpeace Poland,  Jacek Winiarski commented on the 
presidential decision:

"Greenpeace is  very pleased with the president's veto. We believe that 
this is a step in the  right direction and we are pleased that the President 
took into account public  opposition. Studies say that 67 percent of Poles 
oppose genetically modified  food. We are pleased that the President considered 
the consequences for  agriculture, which - if this law came into force - 
could lose its  competitiveness in the European markets. The strength of 
Polish food exports  lies in the fact that our food is still healthy and  
natural".
