Dear readers,

it's turning green outside and in politics. The Greens and the CDU/CSU have just presented their candidates for chancellor, and for the first time the eco-party is clearly in first place in a poll. Of particular interest to us: What do the parties think about GMOs? The Greens, SPD and Left have already taken a position on this in their draft election manifestos, the others have not yet done so.

Particularly important for VLOG and its members is the future regulation of GMOs at EU level. After the publication of the EU study next week, the debate will intensify and possibly also become an election campaign issue in Germany.

Our new sales figures show the continuing growth of "Ohne Gentechnik" (Non GMO). This should be a clear signal to all parties that our successful economic sector must not be jeopardised by GM deregulation.

We wish you a sunny spring!
Your VLOG team
