"I come here to bring the
ideas of the Veneto: our philosophy very much in line with Coldiretti,
that makes us say that the Venetian will be GMO-free. The National Assembly of
Coldiretti welcomed with applause 's statement of the President of the
Veneto Luca Zaia, speaking in Rome today to bring greetings "of the
second Italian region for agricultural production, obtained thanks to
the work of about 160 000 companies .
"Veneto will say out loud
that GMOs do not earn more - reiterated Zaia - to choose the means to
deliver GM agriculture to multinational companies, giving them that
great heritage which is the seed. The Veneto is defending
the cradle of biodiversity, the boutiques of world agriculture: farming
and agriculture Venetian Italian. Some say that the choice
of GMOs is made to feed those in the world of hunger muoino: one billion
200 million human beings are suffering, 300 million people die each
year, 140 million children live in conditions of undernutrition. But the real problem we
have is more production, but their access to food, to buy that today
have no resources. "
"The Veneto is first in
line to host an all-Italian chain - said Zaia - because you can not
deceive our farmers by saying that GMOs are facing the costs of an
Indian paid 1 euro per day or a Chinese paid 5 euros. It is the face of this
unfair competition with the quality of our products with their
certification. "
"The Venetian also wants
an informed consumer. And why is that we must
give the information. We therefore agreed that
the new labeling law, which gives the consumer the right to know what
they're consuming and where it comes from, which enables all to make a
responsible choice .. The Veneto region also
confirms the willingness to introduce canteens throughout the supply
chain Italian. I think that Coldiretti
is not here today to impose decisions, but also incorporates a need,
what we have all our citizens to have certainty.
The President concluded
by thanking the Veneto Coldiretti "for the great assistance, solidarity
and warmth you have shown me in these two years as a minister and to all
the technicians of the Ministry. I can not forget all the
battles that we did together. "
