欧盟首次将孟山都说客扫地出门！

　9月28日，欧美媒体报道，欧盟欧洲议会投票决定，禁止美国孟山都公司说客出席该会议。这是欧盟官方首次决定拒绝企业参与该机构会议。

　　报道分析说，禁止的理由主要是：孟山都公司拒绝出席关于指控该公司产品安全性的研讨听政会。还有分析说，孟山都公司和欧盟官员联手作弊声称转基因作物及其捆绑农药【安全】的真相已经暴露于世，欧盟机构借此表达了摆脱官商勾结的腐败阴影的意愿。

　　分析还说，与此同时，欧盟成员国正在决定是否彻底禁用孟山都草甘膦;众目睽睽之下，必须严防利益冲突干扰决定。美国法庭已经开始受理美国大批农户客户就孟山都产品造成的健康损害、生态危害和经济损失而提出的规模集体诉讼;法庭允许公开的孟山都内部邮件证明该公司为推销转基因作物及其捆绑农药而搞了大量欺骗活动。美国加州立法规定，孟山都产品草甘膦必须标识可致癌。世卫组织已向全球说明草甘膦可致癌。美国农业区四个州当局决定限用或禁用孟山都试图替代草甘膦的麦草畏。这些都是欧盟会议所必须认真考虑的。

　　读后感：过去，在欧洲，抵制或拒绝孟山都多是民众或非官方组织，而欧盟官方机构往往做出不得罪、甚至有利于孟山都的决定。这是头一次，欧盟官方机构公开表示拒绝孟山都公司。因此，故事似乎平淡无奇或小事一桩，但其意义足够重要。在彻底禁止转基因农业的道路上，欧洲又迈出了重要一步。
