Greens target junk food ads and GM foodstuffs across Europe

THE Green Party yesterday launched a new Europe-wide campaign calling for an end to junk food advertising and a complete ban on all GM foods.

The new drive dubbed the Dublin Declaration was formally launched by European Green party president and French MEP Dany Cohn-Bendit at a special conference in Dublin Castle yesterday.

The campaign is the first in a new Green Party initiative to co-ordinate actions throughout Europe with green parties from each EU state working together on a pan-national basis.
