However, many of the main spokespersons of the national government, especially the president of the republic, have permanently expressed their intention to allow and promote the entry of these crops, which is a clear attack on the majority decision of the Ecuadorian people contemplated in the Constitution of the Republic approved in 2008.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this context, it is worth analyzing the Wikileaks cables dated 2009, which state that: \u201cThe Office (US Embassy) is requesting funding to support the travel of five Ecuadorian journalists to the United States to participate in a one-week biotechnology (GM) tour. The purpose of the tour is to educate opinion makers about biotechnology\u2026. in line with the US Government\u2019s position on biotechnology.\u201d It adds that \u201cSince Ecuador is a commercial market for these products (in 2008, the United States exported more than US$$33 million in soy flour and more than US$$44 million in coarse grains to Ecuador), it is in the interest of the US Government to obtain public support for biotechnology (GM). Coverage by respected Ecuadorian media in favor of GM will help change public opinion\u2026. &quot;It will lay the groundwork for positive opinion and help prevent public protests if the President or the National Assembly allows the approval and implementation of GMOs.&quot;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cable also adds: \u201cThe presidential exception contemplated in the Constitution (art. 401) was added only as a result of lobbying by Ecuador\u2019s influential agribusinesses\u2026. It is to be expected that the National Assembly will approve legislation affecting biotechnology, the use and commercialization of transgenic seeds, and issues regarding consumer protection with respect to transgenic crops.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Ecuador, land concentration occurs most severely in the coastal region, where the largest producers of soybeans and corn are located, which is why it is understood<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">that the interest in the introduction of transgenic crops is directed towards this specific region, however no release of genetically modified crops has been authorized to date.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Illegal Introductions<\/b><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is also no known illegal introduction of transgenic crops into the country. For this reason, Acci\u00f3n Ecol\u00f3gica began monitoring corn and concluded that during the participatory monitoring process, carried out during the planting period of 2012 and 2013, no transgenic protein was detected, after having evaluated more than 400 corn samples. This leads us to propose that Ecuador is free of transgenic corn (Bravo and Le\u00f3n, 2013).&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Research and Biotechnology Centers<\/b><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are several research and biotechnology centres in the country, but only one of them, the Escuela Polit\u00e9cnica del Litoral (ESPOL), is developing a type of genetic modification to control black Sigatoka in banana crops, under the name of cisgenic banana.

The State will regulate under strict biosecurity norms, the use and development of modern biotechnology and its products, as well as its experimentation, use and commercialization. The application of risky or experimental biotechnologies is prohibited.
