Those countries themselves, which many years served for the West as an example of the mass sufferings of people from the hunger and which, on the assertions [TNK], must obtain the greatest benefit from the introduction of Gm- cultures, they reject them. After the disruption of negotiations on the protocol on biological security in [Kartakhene] the delegation of Ethiopia stated that his country, in spite of its poverty, never attempted to rear in itself Gm- food and it did not need it. “We decisively protest against idea about the poor and the hungry from our countries would be using by gigantic transnational corporations for the advance of its technologies, which are neither ecologically safe nor economically advantageous for us. We do not believe in the fact that these companies or their technologies will help our farmers to produce the food, necessary in the 21st Century. On the contrary, we assume that they will destroy [bioraznoobrazie], local technologies and steady agricultural systems, which our farmers developed by millenia, and will deprive us the abilities to feed themselves”. Statement, directed by the delegates of 24 African countries to the United Nations along the foodstuffs and the agriculture (FAO).
