According to the European Commission, the company Monsanto in the near future be able to market the type of super corn "SmartStax". The decision will be taken at the latest in October, according to a spokesman for the commissioner of consumer protection affairs Tonio Borg told the German media "ZEIT online".
Privileged " SmartStax " : the kind of corn that super combined two types of corn whose genes have been manipulated . So
corn is capable of producing toxic to some species of insects , in
addition, it is also resistant to two chemical weed eradication . Is this a miracle in the field of natural science or creation deadly demon ? Every idea has its supporters .
Critics Further Tests Demand
" SmartStax " combines six elements . According to the environmental protection organization , impact on the environment as well as side effects of the final product , as well as any element, not adequately tested . Plants were first developed tested in just 90 days . For those of Mertens Martha ties to the environment and environmental protection Germany ( BUND ) step was too little . " That way people could only assess the impact of toxic , but can not know the impact for the long term . "Professor Christoph Tebbe Thünen Institute for biodiversity disagree . It is true , long-term impact can not be seen through the short -term experiment . " But experiments conducted Herrn Seralini not mean because it does not pass the standard process , " said Tebbe . Permission is given as the EU is limited to a certain time , and meet the requirements as specified in the Post Market Monitoring , Tebbe said .Experts Do not See Dangers

So far , Monsanto conducted research and analysis independently conducted research institute showed no danger to health . Likewise, the fact that the elements of " SmartStax " has been used in many European countries . And until now there has been no indication that it is harmful to health .
Hazards that may arise is if the " SmartStax " crossed with a plant native to Europe , which could lead to developing a gene manipulated wild . But for Germany , according to Christoph Tebbe , it is unlikely to happen , because there are no plants that can be crossed .
Super maize from Monsanto corporation insect attack via specific proteins , which exist naturally in the bacterium Bacillus Thurigiensis . For humans , according to expert opinion , there is no risk of a victim " SmartStax " . Because this protein as a growing need in the intestinal epithelial tissue of organisms , and it belongs only to certain insects . Humans and animals that eat corn does not have it . In addition , the protein was already broken down in the human stomach to eat it , so Tebbe . In Germany people also are familiar with and use the insects harmful proteins . Protein is also used to combat insects , insecticides and so on ecological agriculture .Impact on Society

Although corn is super deemed harmless, still many questions arise regarding the development of plants that are specially formulated for particular purpose. Said Harald Ebner, German MPs from the Green Party and the party's spokesman on agriculture field of genetic engineering.
In addition there are also socio-economic problems, says Ebner. "If we support free agricultural genetic engineering, the cost for this type of agriculture that would had risen high, if the plant is also used genetic manipulation," explains Ebner.
