Congratulations to the people of Germany for taking this bold and important step to insure biological integrity of food supplies for future generations.
Good for Germany! Now for the rest of the countries to follow! :)
This is great. Wish I lived there.
Way to go Germany!
In Finland there should always be a label if they were genetically-modified and we don't see the labels at all, but open your eyes and wacth the fx. apples you can see that they are genetically -modified and somehow it comes in the country...so look around you and you see the usual apple and the other and the difference between them. People don't buy them so the merchant don't buy it in.
Hooray for Germany!
