I got this by using the Altavista transalation facility. Seems to be
working quite well now. There are some awkward things, but it is pretty
clear...

Genetically changed corn could harm according to US researchers butterflies
and other Nuetzlingen exactly the same like parasits. The working group
reports around John Losey of the Cornell University in Ithaca (US Federal
State New York) in a letter to the British drawer magazine Nature (Bd. 399,
P. 214), which was published on Thursday. In an attempt pollen were fed by
Bt-corn in the laboratory at crawler-type vehicles of the monarch
monarchfalters (Danaus plexippus), which thereupon died. The scientist
warned however of reactions over-hurried: ' in as far Bt-corn for
free-living monarchs and other butterflies a danger represents, must be
still examined. ' Additionally that with the cultivation of this corn sort
fewer harmful insecticides are used, so the researcher is to be considered
further. Pro and cons must be weighed out carefully against each other.
Also Bt-corn produced in page, stack and pollen the Toxin of the bacterium
Bacillus, cultivated in Germany, thuringiensis and protects itself thereby
forwards insect-ate by the Maiszuensler. Since corn is a wind-dusted plant,
pollen arrives also at the pages of far plants, which serve a multiplicity
of insects as food. Andreas Seiter, speaker of the seeds manufacturer
Novartis, does not doubt the results of the Cornell University, gave however
to consider, it concern lab tests, which were ecologically not relevant. The
pollen were obligation-fed in the laboratory. Whether these laboratory
conditions are portable to open land conditions, is doubtful. Information to
