What is wrong with GM?
When GM crops and foods were first introduced in the late 1990s, scientists raised concerns that genetic modification was imprecise and unpredictable and could result in harm to health and the environment. They warned that:
*GM could create foods that are toxic, allergenic and less nutritious than their non-GM counterparts
*GM crops could damage vulnerable wild plant and animal populations 
*GM plants cannot be recalled, but as living organisms will propagate, transmitting any damaging properties from generation to generation
*GM crops could cause irreversible alterations to the food supply, with serious consequences for the environment and human and animal health.
Subsequent events and a growing body of scientific evidence have shown each of these concerns to be correct (see GMO Myths and Facts). But the biotech industry and its supporters have engaged in a global PR campaign to promote this technology, undermine concerns, and attack those raising them.
The issues
The GMWatch portal exists to expose the often undisclosed vested interests of the people and groups that push GM technology.
GMOs are promoted around the world on the back of: 
* false claims and hype
* suppression of inconvenient scientific findings 
* denial of on-the-ground experiences of farmers around the globe, and
* persecution of whistleblowers.
Consumer pressure and scientific concerns have largely kept the GM foods and crops that are meant for humans out of Europe, although millions of tons of GMOs enter Europe each year in the form of GM animal feed. Unlike GM foods meant for humans, these "stealth GMOs" do not have to be labelled and remain hidden from consumers (see GMO Myths and Facts).
Once it became clear that Europe was largely closed to the growing of GM crops, the industry and its supporters targeted developing country markets, which had been given an unexpected commercial importance. This meant developing country lobbyists became key symbolic players in debates about GM crops, and in assisting the branding of the technology – see Third World Lobbyists (GM).

GPC Market Access

GPC Market Access Group Ltd was a Brussels-based PR and government lobbying firm and the centre of the 'cash-for-access' LobbyGate scandal. Its employee, Derek Draper, hit the headlines in 1998 for allegedly offering companies access to high-level cabinet ministers.
At the time, GPC was owned by Countrywide Porter Novelli (part of the Omnicom Group). GPC's parent company, GPC International, merged with Omnicom's Fleishman-Hillard International Communications in 2001, and now operates as the Fleishman-Hillard public affairs brand outside the United States. In March 1998 prior to the Lobbygate story breaking GPC took over the lobbying firm Prima Europe,IAN DARBY, 'STOP PRESS: GPC Market Access makes Harrison CEO' PR Week UK, 06 March 1998, 00:00am set up by Roger Liddle (who went on to beome an advisor to Tony Blair at Downing Street and was central to the Lobbygate allegations. Liddle later turned up as Peter Mandelson's Chef De Cabinet when Mandelson became a European Commissioner).
==History==
In February 1998, GPC Market Access came into conflict with the Association of Professional Political Consultants (APPC) over the rules set out in its code of conduct. The Association rules prohibit members from employing sitting peers. GPC Market Access, however, added Liberal Democrat peer Lord Dick Taverne to GPC staff when they were involved in a takeover of the lobbying company at which he is director - Prima Europe. Unlike GPC, Prima is not a member of the APPC. Three options were apparently available to rectify the conflict: Prima could remain a separate entity to its parent company; Taverne could resign from the House of Lords; or for the new joint company to leave the APPC. APPC secretary Charles Miller commented:
::We may come to a British compromise, but it’s misleading to speculate. I think people would interpret changing our code as a backward move but we don’t want to lose law-abiding members either.Juliette Garside, "APPC faces questions over sitting peers rule"PR Week UK, 20.02.98, accessed 10.09.10
A fourth option - for Taverne to resign his position at Prima - was chosen. He reportedly "worked for Prima on a part-time basis and had been meaning to retire from consultancy to pursue other interests".Jemimah Bailey, "Lord Taverne leaves Prima in merger", PR Week UK, 03.04.98, accessed 10.09.10
==Subsidiaries==
It had a Scottish office known as GPC Market Access Scotland, subsequently GPC Scotland.

Gabriel Milland

Gabriel Milland is a Partner at lobbying firm Public First, run by his former colleague at the Department for Education, Conservative media strategist, James Frayne.
Milland was head of news at the UK's Department for Education (DfE). He is a former Daily Express political correspondent and before joining the DfE was head of news at the Tory leaning think tank Policy Exchange. Before that he was head of media at the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre. Matt Cartmell, Department for Education appoints Policy Exchange's Gabriel Milland as head of news
prweek.com, 24 August 2011 
==Activities==
Milland took up his job at the DfE in September 2011. According to PR Week:
:The head of news role has grown to include oversight of speechwriting and internal comms, due to a restructuring in the comms division that reduces senior management roles and takes the number of teams from five to three. The job was advertised as including these responsibilities.
:A DfE spokeswoman said: ‘There was a strong competition for this post and the best candidate was appointed on merit. All civil servants have to comply with the Civil Service Code, which includes political impartiality.’
 
:Milland will report to James Frayne (Director of Communications) and will oversee a press office of 15. This is likely to increase once DfE takes on responsibility for press work for its new executive agencies the Teaching Agency, the Education Funding Agency and the Standards and Testing Agency.
