      European Parliament Member and CETA Critic Jose Bove Denied Entry to Canada

      A Response by Global Justice Now

      Newswire Editor
      Oct 12, 2016

      In response to CETA critic and MEP Jose Bove being denied entry to Canada, Nick Dearden director of Global Justice Now said:

      "This is yet another example of how serious a challenge to our democracy CETA is, and how desperate governments are to avoid scrutiny. When even elected representatives are barred from properly criticising CETA, there can be no doubt that deals like CETA are a direct attack on our democracy".

      "After a public outcry has brought the EU-US trade deal TTIP to its knees, governments are taking increasingly drastic measures to protect its Canadian counterpart CETA. It's paramount that MEPs now stand up for our rights and stop this undemocratic deal."

      La Via Campesina, Friends of the Earth International, and Combat Monsanto, the groups who issued the report, show that small farmers, groups and communities in every continent are rising up to resist Monsanto's products and environmental harm. While Monsanto's -- and other giant agribusinesses' -- approach, including genetically modified crops, has been shown to hurt biodiversity, local food knowledge and the environment, the report shows that "food sovereignty is a real and feasible alternative."
