CHILE- LEGISLATOR REQUESTS TO THE GOVERNMENT TO STOP THE INTRODUCTION OF GMOs AFFECTING THE NATIONAL BEE INDUSTRY A call to government to stop the legislation that facilitate the introduction of transgenics in the country, made the Senator of the South Maule, Ximena Rincón, after a Court of Justice of the European Union decreed that Chilean honey is contaminated with transgenic pollen, so must go through a review process and labeling prior to marketing. The parliamentarian said that what happened in the Germanic country has very serious consequences for Chilean beekeepers, since Germany gets just over 74 percent of their shipments.
