<HR ALIGN=CENTER SIZE="3" WIDTH="100%"></FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">Dear Friends,<BR>
</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"> <BR>
</FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">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.<BR>
</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"> <BR>
</FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">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. <BR>
