The statement was drawn up by the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility. It was released on October 21, 2013.
Since then, 297 scientists and experts have signed it.
Thus exploding the myth that “the science is settled.”
Exploding the claim that a consensus about GMOs has been reached.
You can read the statement and the signatories at ensser.org.

Here are two excerpts from the statement:
“As scientists, physicians, academics, and experts from disciplines relevant to the scientific, legal, social and safety assessment aspects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), we strongly reject claims by GM seed developers and some scientists, commentators, and journalists that there is a ‘scientific consensus’ on GMO safety and that the debate on this topic is ‘over’.”
“We feel compelled to issue this statement because the claimed consensus on GMO safety does not exist. The claim that it does exist is misleading and misrepresents the currently available scientific evidence and the broad diversity of opinion among scientists on this issue. Moreover, the claim encourages a climate of complacency that could lead to a lack of regulatory and scientific rigour and appropriate caution, potentially endangering the health of humans, animals, and the environment.”
Yes, but everybody knows that 297 free lance scientists do not have the convincing power of one single government paid scientist. (Even though he is the lowest bidder)
