    Parliament calls for more transparency on the authorisation of pesticides and additives in the food chain

    Members of the European Parliament voted in favour of greater transparency around the authorisation of pesticides, GMOs and additives in the food chain.

    Few words carry a more positive image than “innovation”: solving humanities’ problems, bringing comfort, relief and fun. So why the hell are the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament opposing the introduction of the so-called “innovation principle” in the Horizon Europe Regulation, which will be setting the terms for the next 160 billion …

    A new EU law for more transparency in the food chain

    Democracy and science have in common the fact that they cannot be properly carried out in the dark: both require transparency.

The C…
