BIOSAFENET

The Biosafety Research Communication Network (BIOSAFENET) is a pro-GM lobby network that says its goal is to offer
:robust public information on the biosafety research conducted on genetically modified plants. BIOSAFENET and other European initiatives contribute to the bundling of biosafety knowledge from various EU research programmes and from existing European GMO biosafety networks.BIOSAFENET, Driving biosafety research on GM plants, undated, accessed 21 Jan 2011
BIOSAFENET is headed by Professor Joachim Schiemann.BIOSAFENET, Driving biosafety research on GM plants, undated, accessed 21 Jan 2011 
Schiemann claims "the project is not pro or con genetically modified organisms."BIOSAFENET, Driving biosafety research on GM plants, undated, accessed 21 Jan 2011
However, BIOSAFENET's economic agenda is clear. It says of its aim to disseminate "robust public information on the biosafety research conducted on genetically modified (GM) plants" that
:Such research and its comprehensive, enlightening results often have been relegated to a subordinate role or ignored altogether in long-standing debates on the safety of transgenic crops. This situation hampers the ambition of the European Union to become the most competitive and dynamic science-based (bio-)economy of the world.BIOSAFENET: An EU-funded network of European scientists, Biosaferes, acc 21 Jan 2011
Just as clear is BIOSAFENET's lobbying role. One of its stated aims is

BP: Extract from 'Written in Flames'

Extract from the pamphlet Written in Flames, published in 1987. Full reference: I-Spy Productions Written in Flames: Naming the British Ruling Class London: Hooligan Press ISBN 1869802071. Undated, but published in 1987. 
BP has come a long way from the days of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, when Winston Churchill has to buy government shares in it to save It from Shell; when M16 had to concoct strange plans to save It's oil fields in Iran.
Now BP treats Britain like any other exploitation and the government is likely to sell Its remaining shares this year. But BP is still loyal to the British ruling class, as are all the British multinationals.
BP gets oil and gas from Dorset to Scotland, Indonesia to Canada and owns the American Standard Oil with its Alaskan fields.
Over the years it has tried to spread out from oil and gas. It is now the biggest animal feed producer 1n Europe and America, breeding chickens, pigs and sheep, salmon farming, selling oven-ready poultry. It produces industrial chemicals and sells detergents and insecticides mostly to Third World countries. It mines uranium from Australia, copper and gold from Canada, the Amazon rain forest and Indonesia.
BP chairman, Sir Peter Waiters, talks of turning the petrol stations into supermarkets, making the financial department into a merchant bank and forgetting about oil. But at the moment, BP Is still the sixth largest oil company, with pre tax profits of £7 billion in '85, dropping to £ 1 billion In '86.
Waiters has been chair and managing director since 1981. He was a Birmingham University graduate. Now he earns £260,972 and lives at 51 Cholmeley Park, Highgate, London N6. He's 56 and a director of the National Westminster Bank as well as the Police Foundation.
His top executives are:
*Roger Bexon, an Oxford and Tulsa trained geologist, who's also a director of the cable company BICC. He's 61 and lives at 33 York Terrace East,Regents Park, NWl.
*Peter Cazalet, the son of a Vice Admiral, joined BP after public school and Cambridge. He's 58 and a director of the P&O Line and De la Rue, the bank note printers. He Jives at 2 Sunnyside, Wimbledon SW19.
*Robert Malpas (60), ex-ICI and a director of the oxygen firm BOC, lives at 2 Belgrave Mews West SW1
BP has links with the tobacco conglomerate BAT Industries, through its chairman Patrlck Sheehy. With Barings Bank through the chairman Sir John Baring, and with Lloyds Bank through Lindsay Alexander, former head of Ocean Transport and Trading, the shipping company with which Peter Waiters himself held a directorship. 
Also on the BP board are Anthony Barber, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Alistalr Pllkington, retired head of the fam1ly run Pilklngton glass and optics business, and Sir Campbell Fraser, chair and majority owner of Scottish TV. This Glaswegian academic is also a director of BAT Industries and lives at Silver Birches- 4 Si1ver Lane, Purley in Surrey.

BP: Scottish Advisory Board

Peter Morrison the Minister in the Department of Energy noted the existence of the Advisory board in 1990:
:British Petroleum is pressing ahead with the development of a number of major fields, including Miller and Amethyst, and has made detailed proposals for the development of Bruce. In Scotland, Glasgow has now been established as the head office for BP's upstream business throughout the whole of Europe. This year alone, BP Exploration will be spending approximately £1 billion, more than half its worldwide spending, on activities run mainly out of Scotland. The numbers employed by BP Exploration in Glasgow and Aberdeen have risen significantly, mainly as a result of the enhancement of Glasgow's role. In addition, the expansion of Kinneil is expected to generate an extra 2,500 jobs and the Bruce project 500 jobs--all of them in Scotland. BP's commitment to Scotland has been underlined by its establishment of a Scottish advisory board chaired by the chairman of the BP group.House of commons Hansard The Minister of State, Department of Energy (Mr. Peter Morrison) Friday 20 July 1990 Column 1305, 11.07 am

BTR: Extract from 'Written in Flames'

Extract from the pamphlet Written in Flames, published in 1987. Full reference: I-Spy Productions Written in Flames: Naming the British Ruling Class London: Hooligan Press ISBN 1869802071. Undated, but published in 1987. 
Chairman Owen Green philosophizes about BTR's asset stripping. The basic urge of individuals and their society is to better themselves, he says. BTR betters itself to the tune of £505m profit.
At the same time. BTR hides from the publicity that Hanson loves. The initials of this company lie behind its subsidiaries which include specialist engineering firms; Its construction business range features Tilcon, Grahams Kitchens and the makers of barbed and razor wire, Goodman Croggan. It owns things as diverse as Pretty Polly tights and Poole Pottery. Its chemical products were on display at the MOD export show last year.
Its most recent buy-up was Dunlop with defence contracts, transport, bedding and sports sales.
A two year old strike is going on at BTR's South Africa subsidiary. 900 sacked black workers fighting for union recognit1on in a bloody conflict. BTR isn't too worried about the multinational retreat from South Africa. They're just building a new Dunlop tyre factory there.
Sir Owen Green (62) has been the manager of BTR's expansion. He's Just recently handed over the post of chief executive to John Cahill, boss of BTR's US division. Green, an ex-accountant, is earning £197,000 as chair.
Hugh Laughland (54) heads BTR's European divisions with Lionel Stammers (54).
Sir David Nicolson (65) is a non-executive BTR director. He's director of GKN and Vickers engineering companies and on the Channel Tunnel Group.
