CRIIGEN, Committee for Research and Independent Information on Genetic Engineering To whom it may concern Medicina Democratica represents since many decades a Movement in defence of health and safety,
composed by doctors, epidemiologists, scientists, technicians and specialists of various fields,
besides common citizens engaged on these problems. As Medicina Democratica we consider with the highest interest the key study published 19
September 2012 by Gilles-Eric Séralini’s team, which calls into question protocols used to assess
GMOs and pesticides as well as the workings of the expert committees over the past 20 years. The Séralini’s study is one of the first really independent researches on this field, and we ask it be
considered with the greatest seriousness and care by the scientific community and by the political
and administrative authorities. One of the most interesting features of the Séralini’s study is the time
duration of the research, in order to find long-term effects. It seems needless to say that the extremely worrying evidences given by this study need further
verifications. In any case, the protection of health is a higher value than any economic and
commercial interest. In the case of uncertainty it is absolutely necessary to assume the principle of
precaution, while waiting for further evidence or refutation of these results, resisting to any pressure
by economic or commercial interests, which usually are quite insensitive to the problems of health
and environment. The President Dr. Piergiorgio Duca
