Greenpeace activists on inflatable boats are blocking the cargo ship MS "Desirée". The ship passed the first blockade during the night, but today Greenpeace managed to stop it at the Rhine port in Weil near Basel. Around a dozen activists chained themselves to the ship. More ships with genetically modified soy are expected the coming days. The association of small and medium sized farmers, the Foundation for Consumer Protection and Greenpeace will file a complaint against the import of these GE soybeans and require that all shipments of genetically manipulated corn and soy products are confiscated by the authorities.
