Millau gives the recipe for legal “mowing” of GMOs

Guy Durand, the new mayor (PS) of Millau, presented the municipal decree “prohibiting the cultivation of genetically modified organisms”.

The said culture is therefore banned, “throughout the territory of the commune”, “for the current year”, that is until December 31, 2008. On this provisional nature of the decree, the chief magistrate and jurist specifies that the law in fact excludes “a general and absolute ban since the principle is freedom and the measure adopted by virtue of the police power constitutes the exception.” In short, a new decree will have to be issued to prohibit GMO cultivation in 2009 and so on.

It is clear that both the elected official and the politician want to phone number lead use the symbol that is Millau, a city made popular by the Larzac fight and, more recently, by the “dismantling” of the McDonald's by José Bové and his friends – an action that went viral – to promote the fight against GMOs.

Text of the municipal decree of Millau

More specifically, Guy Durand and the new municipal majority are doing everything they can to inform as many municipalities as possible of the means to put a spanner in the works of GMOs, to carry out what the mayor of the sub-prefecture of southern Aveyron calls a legal "mowing down." Mayors and municipal officials itching to ban GMO crops from the municipal territory can clearly refer to the Millau municipal decree. The "seen" and "whereas" sections follow one another, listing the texts that form the basis of the decree: the preamble to the constitution "according to which the Nation guarantees health protection to all," the 2004 Environmental Charter, articles of the General Code of Local Authorities charging "the mayor with preventing, by appropriate precautions, pollution of all kinds," case law from the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the Council of State, etc.
