General Situation and NGO activities Due to wide public and expert resistance Russia does NOT grow ANY GMO-crops BUT: Lobbyists say - Russia soon will face Brazil variant. Illegal plantations of soy and potato will be discovered and legalized. Nobody controls anything. CIS Alliance for Biosafety URL:

General Situation GMO labeling amendment to federal Consumer law is in force since 2005 BUT – there are still no required bylaws (technical regalements) regulating unlabeled threshold of GMO and biosafety measures. There are rulings of Health Ministry (introduced earlier as separate document) – 0,9% of permitted unlabeled GMO content in food products BUT - almost ALL manufacturers violate them. CIS Alliance for Biosafety URL:

President Putin is more likely against GMOs Several regional governments are criticizing GMOs BUT there is a strong lobbying group in federal government pushing TNCs interests and helping pro-GMO scientists (working to insert TNCs genes in Russian varieties) to receive federal budget money General Situation CIS Alliance for Biosafety URL:

GM-crops, approved for human consumption: Soy (3 lines) – Monsanto (2), Bayer (1) Maize (6 lines) – Monsanto (4), Syngenta (1), Bayer (1) Potato (2 lines) - Monsanto Sugar beat (1 line) – Monsanto/Syngenta Rice (1 line) – Bayer Approved GM-feed: Only Monsanto sells GM-feed to Russia (4 lines of maize) General Situation CIS Alliance for Biosafety URL:

GMO-free Activities GMO free activities started in Russia 3 years ago. (AntiGMO campaign as such started much earlier – in 1997). Activities to introduce moratorium on GMO growing and GMO using in babyfood Promotion of GMO free zones idea - wide distribution of previous Berlin Conference Manifesto, which has been cited by many specialists and some members of federal parliament Declaration of GMO free zones – Moscow authorities and NGOs are willing to declare Moscow GMO free zone CIS Alliance for Biosafety URL:
