 Friday February 27, 2009 16:33 by Michael O'Callaghan - GM-free Ireland Network
Non-GMO / GMO-free labelling claims for the Irish agri-food sector - including live cattle, meat, poultry and dairy produce: Implications of EU markets and regulatory developments.
Friday 20 March, 11:00 – 13:00. €50
ENFO Centre, 11 St. Andrews St, Dublin.
50 EU Regions have adopted Quality Agriculture strategies to add value to their livestock and food produce by avoiding the use of GM animal feed and GM food. Irish agri-food operators need a GM-free certification and labelling scheme to compete in this market. This expert workshop provides stakeholders with an unique opportunity to explore the benefits of a GM-free supply chain.
About the speakers:
Blanche Magarinos-Rey is a French lawyer widely regarded as a leading European expert on GM-free food labelling. A graduate of Universités de Paris I & II – La Sorbonne & Assas, she is registered with the Bar of Brest, Brittany, one of the EU’s GMO-free Regions.

Michael O’Callaghan is the Co-ordinator of the GM-free Ireland Network, an association of 130 member organisations collaborating to keep the Island of Ireland off limits to GM crops. We are now exploring the feasibility of a GM-free certification and labelling scheme for farmers and food producers interested in phasing out the use of GM ingredients and GM animal feed.
