The decision on whether to ratify the revised Bio-Security Law, which has been widely denounced by environmentalists, will now take place on Tuesday 15 February.

The legislation is now in its final phase, following its successful passage through Mexico’s lower house last December.

Environmental groups, such as Greenpeace, argue that the proposed Bill would pass too much control over food production into the hands of large corporations and would destroy corn diversity in Mexico.
