BRUSSELS, Dec. 5, 2013 (AFP) - Scientific Advisor to the President of the European Commission, Anne Glover, stated that she has never to have been employed by the U.S. group Monsanto and demanded a public apology from the French MEP Corinne Lepage, who had called for her resignation.
"I read in the media on account of your press conference with Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini November 28 to Brussels," she wrote in a letter to Ms. Lepage and made public Thursday.
" You are quoted as having accused me of being a former Monsanto empoyee. If this is true, I ask you to give me a public apology and immediately reply, because I have never been employed by Monsanto and I've never done any study for them "wrote Ms. Glover.
Lepage apologized to Ms. Glover in an exchange on Twitter, and in a letter which AFP has obtained a copy.
Corinne Lepage said she gladly acknowledged her own mistake and apologized for claiming incorrectly that Ms Glover was employed by Monsanto.
