This is from the Pan American Health Organization press release
January 21,2004.

Recent developments in Latin America suggest that biotechnology may be
heading toward greater acceptance. Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela are all signatories to the CancĂșn
Declaration of Like-Minded Megadiverse Countries, which affirms their
desire "to take an active part in the new economy associated with the
use of biological diversity, genetic resources and biotechnology."
This and other developments "could signal a growing shift in focus
toward how - not so much if - GM technology can be harnessed to
benefit the region and its inhabitants," the article says.

PAHO was established in 1902 and is the world's oldest public health
organization. PAHO works with all the countries of the Americas to
improve the health and the quality of life of people of the Americas.
It serves as the Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health
Organization (WHO).
