2009 we had our 10-years anniversary. 2009 was also the UN-year of the GORILLA. Because we couldn´t celebrate our anniversary together with YOU, our customers, we want to say THANK YOU for your faithfulness and trust by going a new way. We decided to subscribe 0,50 € of EACH SAMPLE, that will be tested in our laboratory in 2010 to a special project. This donation will be served to protect the habitats of the GORILLAS and to keep them from extermination. Therefor we first take over a 5 years sponsorship of a Gorilla in close cooperation with the Zoologischen Gesellschaft Frankfurt (www.zgf.de) and want to spend the further available money of the fund-raiser to support other similar projects, i.e. the protection of Orang-Utans in Sumatra. Please help us to support this fund-raiser by sending us your samples.

At this point we want to say THANK YOU for your support, also on behalf of the wonderful GORILLAS.

• Advancement of a special seed test for detecting the Zygosity, that was developed first by Euregio Analytic BioChem GmbH in 2007 - promoted R&D project by German BMBF and in cooperation with Fraunhofer Institute IME Aachen.
• Development of an innovative, new Quality Standard - news in brief.
• Our company owns two well trained Auditors / Trainers for the international Standard ISO 17025 for testing laboratories. Please contact us for support.
• Detection of genetically modified lineseed FP 967 Triffid - we give answers to your questions!
• Briefly: new subsiadiary in Austria.

• we were on WDR television: "Essen und Trinken" on 26.06.2009, 18:20.
• Participation on the international seed conference in Rome, Italy, from 8^th till 10^th September 2009
• Participation on the international trade fair for organic food "Biofach 2010" in Nürnberg - we are looking forward to welcome you on our stand

• 02.01.2010: In Germany farmers will not be able to sow genetic modified seeds in 2010.
• 23.12.2009: USA is planning to cultivate the genetically modified "Supermaize". The SmartStax-Maize (MON89034 x TC1507 x MON88017 x DAS-59122-7) is a cross-linkage of several gm-maize traits and owns some newgenetic attributes: it produces six different variants of Bt-Proteins, that will create restistance against the most important maize pests. In addition it include resistances against Glyphosat (Roundup) and Glufosinat (Liberty). The acreage in 2010 will be 1,6 Mio ha.
• 14.12.2009: Brasil shows a strong Boom in Green Biotechnology. In this cultivation season the portion of gm-maize in ratio to the complete acreage of maize in Brasil will grow from 5 to 39 percent. The acreage of gm-Soybean will be constant in ratio to the last season.
• 30.11.2009: EU-Commission has approved the import of gm MIR604-Maize, that was developed by Syngenta and was found in the past often in soybean-products. 
• 28.11.2009: China has approved a gm-Rice, that was developed by a Chinese scientists and that owns a resistance against insects (Bt-Rice). 
• 21.11.2009: China has approved gm-Phytase Maize for commercial cultication. Phytase is currently used as an additive in animal feed to breakdown phytic acid in corn, which holds 60% of the phosphorus in corn. Phytase increases phosphorus absorption in animals by 60%. Phosphorus is an essential element for the growth and development of all animals, and plays key roles in skeletal structure and in vital metabolic pathways. Phytase, as an additive for animal feed, is mandatory in Europe, Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan, and other regions for environmental purposes.
• 20.11.2009: genetic modified MIR604-Maize will be approved in the EU soon. The proposal of the EU commission for authorization of the gm-maize reached not the needed majority, but soon approval by the decision of the commission based on the scientific report of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is expected.
• 10.11.2009: Monsanto withdraws High-Lysine gm-maize LY038 from regulatory approval in EU citing commercial reasons. More about this you can find under www.i-sis.org.uk/HighLysineGMMaize.php or www.genet-info.org.
• 30.10.2009: The EU Commission has approved the import of genetically modified maize strains MON88017, MON89034 and 59122xNK603 as well as food and feedstuffs produced from these strains.
• 22.10.2009: The Indian government has postponed its decision on the approval of genetically modified Bt aubergines.
• 01.10.2009: The European Commission has ordered Member States to remove food products derived from genetically modified linseed from the shelves. The flax comes from Canada and is not authorised in the EU. In September, a total of eight notifications were received by the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). The first warning came from Germany.
• 22.09.2009: No more soy shipments are reaching European shores from the USA. After several ships were turned away due to traces of Bt maize MON88017 and MIR604 being found in the cargo, all importers are shying away from the risk of such imports. Experts are reckoning with food shortages in the feed industry by December at the latest. Given the situation, German federal and state agriculture ministers are calling for rapid authorisation procedures.
• 10.09.2009: The food inspection of German state Baden-Württemberg found traces of gm-lineseed / flax. This Event may come from Canada as is not approved in the EU.
