biosafety - the choice is yours

Friends of the Earth welcomes Ministers to Montreal. We hope you enjoy your dinner generously hosted by Mr Juan Mayr. To use his words..."the world needs this Protocol, and the people of the world want this Protocol....the whole world is waiting for a Protocol....I wonder which delegation would want to go down in history as having been the reason why this process failed?" We hope it won’t fail. It’s up to you now.

Bon Appetit!

CHEF’S SUGGESTIONS ....... AND WHAT THEY COULD IMPLY ....
