The Consortium for IGP PACHINO Galan: partial satisfaction for the turnabout

The Consortium for IGP PACHINO Galan: partial satisfaction turnabout seems

ended the impasse caused by the statements of Minister Galan that hearsay approached the cherry tomato IGP GMO products. The immediate reaction from the Coldiretti who judged the statements of the minister "excessive strains and generating confusion, destroying - writes the president of Coldiretti Sergio Marini - the value and distinctiveness of our Made in Italy food is the only weapon we have to compete in national and international markets. "

Behind front of the Minister: good tomatoes of Pachino, nothing to do with GMOs

E ' was the same Minister to clarify his statements. "What has been written over and over again in newspapers and magazines, namely that some quality tomato studied in laboratories in Israel, which does not mean GM tomato-replica Minister of Agriculture, Giancarlo Galan in note - took root especially in the area of \u200b\u200bPachino.Ottimi then the cherry tomatoes, "then have nothing to do with the ongoing debate on GMOs debate about issues related to research and experimentation.

Consortium Director PGI care to comment on hearsay

We note with moderate partial satisfaction of the turnabout made by the Minister Galan. "These statements by the Director of the Consortium , Salvatore Chiaramida, which adds in a footnote that" it is irresponsible to release news in the form of declarations doubtful, it is even more so when it is a Minister of the Republic, which even expressed to hearsay. One thing is fact that the first seeds of cherry tomato hybrids were marketed by an Israeli company, which made staying in the territory Pachino has found a better habitat due to climatic and environmental conditions that have made that you got the "tomato best in the world "(as has been described recently by Slow Food), another to define" the tomatoes a GM product. " If we add that to everything the IGP has been granted by his ministry that presides Galan, among other things, not just for the cherry tomato but also for the ribbed and smooth round, you have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe superficiality of such statements from which it has rightly taken distances also the national president of Coldiretti, Sergio Marini. Unless, to think evil, such statements do not conceal very clear interests that the lawyer seeks to promote Veneto Giancarlo Galan. "

Doubts remain about the purpose Galan of the joke, as it has been defined. A good thinking, however, we believe that the spirit is just like the hundreds of producers every day commit their financial and physical resources to ensure quality and authenticity in doubt, once again, by combinations of class to say the least, elusive .
