Monsanto breaks law in India by smuggling GMO seeds

• Monsanto-Mahyco Biotech brought 100 grams of cotton seeds into India, containing the MON531-Bt gene, without the approval of the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC).
• Monsanto-Mahyco started large scale, open field trials of said Bt cotton in 40 locations spread across nine states, again without GEAC approval. (These could easily mix with non-GMO cotton, and Monsanto would have be able to collect huge fines from impoverished farmers.)
• Some of this GMO cotton was sold in open markets. 
• Indian law does not permit patents on seeds and in agriculture. 
• US officials have pressured India's gov't to change their laws about this.  
• And more cheap tricks by Monsanto. See article.
