Switzerland

Moratorium

National: Switzerland has a 5-year moratorium against the commercial cultivation of GM crops and animals. In a referendum (Link: http://www.gentechfrei.ch/) the majority of the Swiss population (55.7%) and all cantons voted in November 2005, to prohibit the use of genetically modified animals and plants in Swiss agriculture for a period of five years. In March 2010 Swiss Parliament has extended its ban on the cultivation of genetically modified plants for another three years until November 2013. Moratorium Switzerland (German)
