Subject: [Certif-agrofuel] Action clip: against RTRS and "responsible soy"
 (Buenos Aires, April 2008) on YOUTUBE
Message-ID: <485925A5.801@corporateeurope.org>

Hello all,

Recommended to watch, a telling clip on the 'transparent' and 
'participatory' approach of the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS), 
which held its 3rd conference in Buenos Aires, April 2008.

THE ROUND TABLE ON IR-RESPONSIBLE SOY:  Certifying Soy Expansion, GM Soy 
and Agrofuels, April 2008

At the upcoming Summit of the International Biofuel Forum, by the way, a 
'sustainable biofuel' round table is being organised; with many the same 
actors involved as the RTRS.
In charge is a French NGO called 'Ethical Sugar' , that runs the Better 
Sugarcane Initiative (a similar initiative as the RTRS; only that in 
this 'initiative', for only 25.000 $ you buy yourself a place on the 
Steering Committee - with voting rights!)

Take care, Nina
