GMOs above the law with the "Monsanto Act"

Immediately called "Monsanto Protection Act," the law passed by the U.S. Congress causes a stir.

In early April, the U.S. Congress approved the budget for agriculture. An amendment discreet than a few lines in Section 735, has been approved. On request (of a farmer, a farm manager or grower), the Ministry of Agriculture should immediately grant a temporary authorization for the cultivation of genetically modified crops, even if their approval is challenged in court.

This clause will not consider judicial decisions and puts GMOs above the law. Immediately called "Monsanto Protection Act", this law seems to be against environmentalists, opponents of GMOs and politicians of all persuasions. 

This law should be temporary until the final adoption of the budget in September. This conflict occurs since Monsanto has announced an increase in profits of 22%. The Monsanto seeds accounted for 93% of soybeans, 88% of cotton and 86% of corn in the U.S.
