GENET
GENET is an European network of nongovernmental nonprofit
organisations engaged in the critical debate on genetic engineering.
It was founded in 1995. GENET's main work is to provide information
on genetic engineering for the member organisations and the
interested public via email-lists and to coordinate activities and
facilitate campaigns. At the moment, GENET has 38 member
organisations in 15 European countries.
Aims of GENET
The purpose of GENET is to exchange information on genetic
engineering and campaigns focussing on
- plant and animal breeding
- agriculture
- food production
and its implications on
- human health
- animal welfare
- biological diversity
- the environment
- socioeconomic issues
By informing interested organisations and individuals it facilitates
citizen involvement in the decision-making processes which need to
guide the development of this technology. GENET supports activities
that aim to avoid the introduction of genetechnology products or
processes which are not in the interests of consumers or farmers or
harm the environment or health.
Services of GENET
GENET communicates via 3 moderated email lists:
GENET-news, GENET-mailout, GENET-forum.
GENET-news is open to all subscribers. GENET-news is aimed at
subscribers who want to receive a broad range of current news
covering the fields of interest to GENET. GENET-news sends journal
articles, press releases, internet documents and member contributions
as email text on a daily basis. Currently, the messages are sorted by
the following subjects:
1-Hormones: production and use of recombinant hormones
2-Plants: breeding and use of transgenic plants, ecological and
biodiversity risks
3-Food: production and use of food made from or produced by
transgenic organisms,
production and use of enzymes and other food
ingredients synthezised by transgenic organisms
4-Patents: patenting of genes and transgenic organisms, biopiracy
5-Animals: breeding and use of transgenic animals in agriculture
and "gene pharming", xenotransplantation
6-Regulation: national and international laws covering genetic
engineering and other biotechnologies
7-Business: economic, company news
8-Misc: other news

Membership of GENET
Membership can be given to European non-governmental organisations
that share the goals of GENET. Such NGOs are welcome to apply for
membership to the board in writing. Applications should be supported

another member organisation to which the applicant organisation is
close. Members can subscribe to GENET-forum, which allows them to
send messages directly via GENET-news and GENET-forum. GENET meets
twice a year.

FAO-BiotechNews
(wide choice of languages)
FAO-BiotechNews is an e-mail list containing news and events items that are
relevant to applications of biotechnology in food and agriculture in
developing countries. Its aim is to inform policy makers and technical
decision-makers about current developments and issues in agricultural
biotechnology, with a particular emphasis on developing countries, as well
as to inform scientists of the wider policy/regulatory/agricultural
development aspects of their work. The news and events items focus on FAO's
work and the work of its main United Nations (UN) and non-UN partners. The
items cover crops, fish, livestock, forest trees and agro-industry. It was
launched in January 2002.
