15 years, 81 projects, 400 teams and €70 Million all about GMOs and GMO Safety – Thank you European Union Taxpayers

Damn!! What Voltaire said (doubt is not a pleasant condition but certainty is an absurd one is true) is true but the sad truth is dissonance keeps perpetuating no matter what science and reality proclaims.

In the Introduction to this European commission webpage they note:
"Of particular importance in this context is the use of Genetically Modified Organisms outside contained facilities. Consequently, GMO safety research has been supported in successive Framework Programmes from 1985 to the present day. The pattern of development of this support is illustrated in the table below, which shows that over this 15-year period 81 projects have been supported. These projects have involved over 400 teams from many different disciplines and represent a combined Community financial contribution of about €70 million. Summaries of all these projects are contained in this review."
