L'étrange silence des abeilles Hooser introduces GMO bill - Thegardenisland.com: Government And Politics LIHUE — Kauai County Councilman Gary Hooser introduced an ordinance Thursday that would give authority to the county to govern the commercial use of pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Hooser believes it is an opportunity to set a precedent, and could serve as a model for other communities. “This ordinance is about impacts on Kauai — Kauai health, Kauai environment,” he said. “It’s not about GMOs and whether they’re good for the world or not.” The 10-page ordinance, co-sponsored by Councilman Tim Bynum, would require commercial agricultural entities to disclose the use of restricted use pesticides and the presence of genetically modified crops. “The people of the County of Kauai have the right to know the potential impacts that these substances and the related agricultural practices are likely to have on their human health, and the health of their environment,” states the bill. While it targets the largest corporations, McFarland believes it will impact farmers of all sizes.
The Triple Helix Méli Mélo - Démêlons les fils de l'eau Quelle sont les obligations des industriels pour la mise sur le marché de pesticides ? Aujourd’hui, la mise sur le marché des produits phytopharmaceutiques est régie au niveau européen par un règlement de 2009 (n°1107/2009) qui abroge la directive de 1991. Au moment de leur mise sur le marché, les industriels doivent faire la preuve scientifique de leur innocuité à court et à long terme, de leur efficacité sur les organismes nuisibles à contrôler et de leur sélectivité sur la (ou les) culture(s) traitée(s). L’autorisation de Mise sur le Marché (AMM) résulte d’une démarche en deux étapes, avec une approbation au niveau européen, puis une autorisation au niveau national. L’AMM impose également des exigences sur l’emballage et l’étiquetage. Du fait de leur réglementation spécifique et ancienne , les pesticides ne sont pas concernés par la directive européenne Reach qui régit les autorisations des produits chimiques. Existe-t-il d’autres modèles de production agricole ?
The truth about Bill 2491 - Guest - Mobile Adv Gary Hooser - Kauai County Council | As the author of Bill 2491 relating to Pesticides and Genetically Modified Organisms, I feel compelled to address the tremendous amount of misinformation being generated in the community as to its impacts and effects on our island community. To be clear – Bill 2491 does not ban GMOs and will absolutely not force or cause the closure of any GMO operation on Kauai. Further – Bill 2491’s pesticide provisions apply only to commercial agricultural operations that use large amounts of Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs). Ninety-nine percent of these very toxic substances are used by just five companies on Kauai. No one else on Kauai uses these RUP chemicals at any level even close to what is being used by these agrochemical operations. No small farms will be impacted by Bill 2491 whatsoever because they simply do not use RUPs at any significant level at all. The heart of Bill 2491 is the “right to know.” If passed into law Bill 2491 will:

Ninety-nine percent of these very toxic substances are used by just five companies on Kauai. The GMO companies apply approximately 18 tons of over 22 different types of highly restricted chemicals every year to their fields all over our island. These chemicals have warning labels that sometimes exceed 100 pages and many are banned in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
