L'etichetta garantiva che il riso non era Ogm - da Greenplanet
09/26/2006 Almeno quattro partite di riso proveniente dagli Stati Uniti, del genere long rice e paddy, sono risultate geneticamente modificate e quindi fuori legge. La scoperta è avvenuta in seguito all'inchiesta che ha portato al blocco di due container di riso americano a Livorno. In tutto le quattro partite risultate positive ai test ammontano ad un totale di 6.780 tonnellate arrivate da gennaio. "Le partite - ha spiegato il sottosegretario alla Salute Giampaolo Patta, sono state bloccate ma non si esclude che ci possa essere una certa quantità sul mercato". Ci sono «troppe falle nell’intero sistema di controllo delle importazioni» - ha commentato il direttore generale di Legambiente Francesco Ferrante. «È grave che la contaminazione viaggi addirittura sotto l’etichetta ogm-free, quando questa dovrebbe invece garantire la totale sicurezza del prodotto. Solo inasprendo i controlli e rafforzando le misure precauzionali l’Europa può evitare che quantità di ogm illegali varchino indisturbate i propri confini e tutelare i consumatori».

09/20/2006 L'introduzione di politiche più restrittive in materia d’asilo nel continente, nonché il miglioramento delle condizioni in alcuni dei principali paesi di origine dei richiedenti asilo sta portando ad una incessante la tendenza al ribasso del numero di domande d’asilo presentate nei paesi industrializzati. Lo afferma l’ultimo rapporto statistico dell’Alto Commissariato della Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati (UNHCR) pubblicato ieri. Il rapporto, basato su dati provvisori forniti dai governi all’UNHCR, indica che durante i primi sei mesi del 2006 in Europa, Nord America, Australia, Nuova Zelanda e Giappone sono state complessivamente presentate 134.900 domande d’asilo. Tale cifra rappresenta una diminuzione del 14 per cento rispetto allo stesso periodo dell’anno scorso. Negli anni scorsi, l’80 per cento delle domande d’asilo nei paesi industrializzati veniva presentato in Europa.

Landmine Monitor Report 2006
09/14/2006 Circa 740 chilometri quadrati di terra bonificati nel 2005, una superficie pari alla dimensione della città di New York, che ha comportato la rimozione di 470.000 mine terrestri e 3.75 milioni di esplosivi: è il maggior numero di aree bonificate a partire dal 1980 con il moderno sistema di sminamento. Ma le mine terrestri continuano a contaminare 78 paesi e la percentuale delle persone ferite è aumentata dell’11% per l’intensificarsi dei conflitti in Myanmar, Ciad, Colombia, Pakistan e Sri Lanka mentre tre governi - Myanmar, Russia e Nepal - vi hanno fatto ricorso nell'ultimo anno. Più di 350 mila persone sono state colpite dalle mine e più di un milione continua a vivere in aree minate. Lo segnala il Landmine Monitor Report 2006, ottavo rapporto della Campagna internazionale per la messa al bando delle mine (Icbl) presentato oggi in più di 30 capitali mondiali. E la Campagna denuncia come nel 2005, per la prima volta, la raccolta fondi internazionale per lo sminamento è diminuita anche in Italia.
