16 de mayo de 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Hoy, una amplia coalici\u00f3n de organizaciones, inician un llamado internacional <\/a>para frenar la expansi\u00f3n de organismos modificados gen\u00e9ticamente en el medio ambiente. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Para la iniciativa, las regulaciones vinculantes deben ser implementadas para prevenir la liberaci\u00f3n de plantas modificadas gen\u00e9ticamente, en particular, si pueden persistir e invadir el medio ambiente, y dar lugar a un flujo de transgenes a poblaciones nativas o variedades locales de los centros de origen y de diversidad gen\u00e9tica. Estas organizaciones se va a dirigir a las Partes del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biol\u00f3gica (CDB) para pedir que se involucren activamente. El CDB, en virtud de su Protocolo de Cartagena sobre Seguridad de la Biotecnolog\u00eda, exige que se tomen medidas eficaces para proteger la biodiversidad y prevenir los movimientos transfronterizos involuntarios de organismos modificados gen\u00e9ticamente. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYa hay varios ejemplos muy documentados de plantas modificadas gen\u00e9ticamente expandi\u00e9ndose de manera incontrolada en poblaciones silvestres y ecosistemas. Tambi\u00e9n hay casos de presencia de transgenes en variedades aut\u00f3ctonas y locales de plantas cultivadas como el ma\u00edz en M\u00e9xico y el arroz en China\u201d, dice Elena \u00c1lvarez-Buylla de M\u00e9xico. \u201cExiste un gran riesgo de que no podamos volver atr\u00e1s, a la biodiversidad original, sin los transgenes bioactivos, lo que puede alterar profundamente las din\u00e1micas de las variedades nativas, silvestres y cultivadas\u201d. \u00c1lvarez-Buylla es una prestigiosa bi\u00f3loga mexicana que actualmente est\u00e1 viajando en Europa y pertenece a la Uni\u00f3n de Cient\u00edficos Comprometidos con la Sociedad, UCCS (M\u00e9xico). Ha participado en varios proyectos de investigaci\u00f3n que han mostrado que las plantas modificadas gen\u00e9ticamente han contaminado poblaciones nativas y variedades regionales en M\u00e9xico.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Third World Network (TWN) ha seguido muy de cerca y durante muchos a\u00f1os las negociaciones del Protocolo de Cartagena sobre la Seguridad de la Biotecnolog\u00eda. Esta organizaci\u00f3n internacional est\u00e1 muy preocupada por el impacto a largo plazo del flujo gen\u00e9tico incontrolado de transgenes en el medio ambiente: \u201cEl art\u00edculo 17 del Protocolo de Cartagena sobre la Seguridad de la Biotecnolog\u00eda, exige a las Partes que eviten o reduzcan al m\u00ednimo los riesgos de los movimientos transfronterizos involuntarios de organismos modificados gen\u00e9ticamente. Pero la tendencia actual de una difusi\u00f3n cada vez mayor de estos organismos en el medio ambiente aumenta el potencial de las plantas modificadas gen\u00e9ticamente para moverse a trav\u00e9s de las fronteras\u201d, dice Lim Li Ching de TWN. \u201cEl principio de precauci\u00f3n s\u00f3lo puede aplicarse si los organismos modificados gen\u00e9ticamente se pueden recuperar del medio ambiente en caso de emergencia. Esto se hace imposible una vez los transgenes se mueven y se acumulan en variedades silvestres y locales\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El Grupo internacional ETC advierte que los enfoques t\u00e9cnicos que propone la industria y algunos gobiernos no traer\u00e1n ninguna soluci\u00f3n: \u201cLas tecnolog\u00edas de restricci\u00f3n de uso gen\u00e9tico (GURTs por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s, tambi\u00e9n conocido como Terminator<\/em>), son un conjunto de tecnolog\u00edas de ingenier\u00eda para hacer semillas est\u00e9riles en la segunda generaci\u00f3n<\/strong> y han sido propuestas por la industria de la biotecnolog\u00eda como una respuesta a la \u201cbioseguridad\u201d, pero, en realidad, s\u00f3lo sirven para impedir que los agricultores reproduzcan sus semillas. Hay informes cient\u00edficos que indican que las GURTs no funcionar\u00e1n como se predijo e implican riesgos nuevos y adicionales. Estas tecnolog\u00edas est\u00e1n bajo una moratoria en el CDB debido a los riesgos que presentan para la biodiversidad y las comunidades ind\u00edgenas y locales, pero, a pesar de la moratoria, algunos pa\u00edses est\u00e1n discutiendo su liberaci\u00f3n\u201d, dice Silvia Ribeiro, Directora para Am\u00e9rica Latina del Grupo ETC.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Las organizaciones firmantes tienen como objetivo recabar un amplio apoyo de la sociedad civil y llevar\u00e1n las demandas a las reuniones de las Partes del Protocolo de Cartagena sobre la Seguridad de la Biotecnolog\u00eda y el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biol\u00f3gica que tendr\u00e1n lugar en septiembre\/octubre de 2014 en Corea del Sur.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

International call to stop genetically engineered organisms spreading into the environment!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Coalition calls<\/a> for the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and its<\/span><\/strong>
\nCartagena Protocol on Biosafety to take action<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

16 May 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/em> – Today sees the start of an international call by a broad coalition of
\norganisations <\/a>to stop the spread of genetically engineered organisms into the environment.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative says that binding regulations must be implemented to prevent the release of
\ngenetically engineered plants that can persist and invade the environment or lead to transgene
\nflow into native populations or local varieties at centres of origin and of genetic diversity. The
\norganisations will be approaching the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
\nand encouraging them to become actively involved. The CBD, under its Cartagena Protocol
\non Biosafety, requests that effective measures are taken to protect biodiversity and prevent
\nunintended transboundary movements of genetically engineered organisms. The call is
\nsupported by Econexus, Ecoropa, ETC Group, European Network of Scientists for Social and
\nEnvironmental Responsibility (ENSSER), Friends of the Earth, Europe (FOE), Gene-ethical
\nNetwork (GeN), Greenpeace International, Red de Semillas (Spain), Testbiotech (Germany),
\nthe Third World Network and the Uni\u00f3n de Cient\u00edficos Comprometidos con la Sociedad,
\nUCCS (Mexico) and others. Further supporters will be asked to join.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are already several well-documented examples of genetically engineered plants spreading
\nuncontrolled into wild populations and ecosystems. There are also cases of repeated transgene
\npresence in landraces or local varieties of crop plants such as maize in Mexico and rice in China\u201d,
\nsays Elena Alvarez-Buylla from Mexico. \u201cThere is a great risk that we will not be able to go back to
\nthe original biodiversity without the bio-active transgenes, which can profoundly alter the dynamics
\nof wild and cultivated native varieties.\u201d Alvarez-Buylla is a leading Mexican biologist, currently
\ntravelling in Europe and a Member of the Uni\u00f3n de Cient\u00edficos Comprometidos con la Sociedad,
\nUCCS (Mexico). She has been involved in several research projects that showed that genetically
\nengineered plants had contaminated native populations and regional varieties in Mexico.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Third World Network (TWN) has followed the negotiations on the Cartagena Protocol on
\nBiosafety very closely for many years. The international organisation is very concerned about the
\nlong-term impact of uncontrolled gene flow of transgenes into the environment: \u201cArticle 17 of the
\nCartagena Protocol on Biosafety requires Parties to prevent or minimise the risks of unintentional
\ntransboundary movements of genetically engineered organisms, but the current trend of an
\nincreasing spread of these organisms into the environment enhances the potential for genetically
\nengineered plants to move across borders\u201d, says Lim Li Ching for TWN. \u201cThe precautionary
\nprinciple can only be implemented if genetically engineered organisms can be retrieved from the
\nenvironment in case of emergency. This becomes impossible once transgenes move and accumulate
\nin wild and landrace varieties.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The international ETC Group warns that technical approaches as proposed by industry and some
\ngovernments will not bring any solutions: \u201cGURTs (genetic use restriction technologies, also
\nknown as \u201cTerminator\u201d), are a set of engineering technologies to make seeds sterile in the second
\ngeneration and are proposed by the biotech industry as an answer to \u201cbiosafety\u201d, but in reality they
\nonly serve to stop farmers from reproducing seeds. There are scientific reports indicating that
\nGURTS will not function as predicted and implicate new and additional risks. These technologies
\nare under a moratorium at the CBD because of the risks they present to biodiversity, indigenous and
\nlocal communities, but despite the moratorium some countries are discussing their release\u201d, says
\nSilvia Ribeiro, ETC Group Latin America Director.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The organisations signing up to the call are aiming to mobilise further support from civil society
\nand will bring the issue to the meetings of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and the
\nConvention on Biological Diversity, in September\/October 2014 in South Korea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
