Dear Friends,
 
I have just come back from a pre Hong Kong Ministerial Meeting consultation
organised by our Commerce Ministry and UNCTAD. Supachai gave the keynote
address. In response to one of the questions related to GMO's, he talked
about the WTO GMO dispute. He said without mentioning countries, that the
country impeding import has lost.
 
As you know the WTO is with holding the announcement of the GMO dispute
between US and Europe till after the WTO Ministerial in order to not create
problems. Supachai's comments even without naming countries indicate that
the EU has last. We need to prepare to make the force feeding of GMO's and
the expansion of Monsanto's monopolies a big issue in Hong Kong especially
since WTO wants to avoid this. This is even more important given that our
dear friends in France have been jailed for their GMO action last week.
 
We are organising a number of events at which we can raise this issue. The
details are as follows :
