On April 10th, Ecotricity and Greenpeace will file a legal challenge to the European Commission's decision to approve UK state aid (1) to stricken nuclear energy company British Energy.

They will make a joint application to the European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg to "annul" the Commission's decision that the rescue aid to British Energy is compatible with European Community law.

FSA to debate GM foods in the UK

Last edited 4 April 2003 at 9:00am

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), the UK's food watchdog headed by Sir John Krebs, is currently running a debate on GM foods. Part of their debate involves holding a "citizen's jury" on whether GM foods should be available to buy in the UK, and this is being broadcast live on the web. Strangely, however, the FSA debate is being run separately from the independent GM public debate, which kicks off at the end of May.

A MORI poll, released today by Greenpeace, has found that the British people believe that oil rather than humanitarian issues is the main reason for President Bush going to war with Iraq.

Responding (unprompted) to the question 'What do you think is the main reason or reasons for President Bush going to war with Iraq?' the most common response was 'to protect US oil supply/control Iraqi oilfields' (32%).

Weeks of confusion and amusement for commuters and tube bosses came to an end today as the perpetrators of an anti-Esso guerrilla advertising campaign admitted responsibility. Thousands of spoof 'poems on the underground' posters attacking George Bush and oil giant Esso have been appearing on the Northern, District, Metropolitan, Hammersmith and City and Bakerloo lines. Esso are known to be furious, while London Underground controllers were perplexed.

At 8am this morning a Greenpeace hot air balloon delivered an anti-war message to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, from where US B52 planes will be launching bombing raids against Iraq.

The balloon featuring the message 'NO WAR' over-flew the site and, echoing leaflet drops over Iraq, dropped leaflets down to personnel in the base.
