European Parliament Committee on Social Affairs, Draft Opinion for the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology on Matters Relating to Biotechnology 

Drafted by Benedikt Haerlin 

May 14, 1986

The document discloses a program to impose trade sanctions on African nations which permit field trials or commercial releases of GM crops, and to finance efforts to encourage European rejection of agricultural biotechnology; drafted by the man who, as a member of Greenpeace, later threatened the destruction of field trials of Golden Rice.
