To mask its actual intention of protecting the world market of superfluous pharmaceutical
preparations, those responsible for Codex have invented exculpatory statements: Thus the
next Codex Alimentarius conference will occur at the "Federal Office for Health-related
Consumer Protection" in Berlin in November of 2002. In addition to the "consumer
protection" from alleged "harmful side effects" of vitamins, a need for united international
administration of the pharmaceutical industry was indicated.
The fact that the pharmaceutical industry believes that this disguised justification will be
unacceptable is clearly evident since Codex plans to punish all those who oppose its plans
with economic sanctions by the UN.
Our response: Talk to as many people as possible about these irresponsible plans and let
the members of the Codex commission and their delegates know what you think.
