ASA warns GM ban retaliation

By Alex McNally




28/01/2008 - The American Soybean Association* has warned there could be "massive retaliation" on Europe if the bloc does not speed up a system for approving GM crops.
At the moment, industry has been loosing millions because producers who use GM crops are restricted in exporting them to the European Union, because of an EU moratorium on the use of GM crops.

Following a complaint by the US in 2003, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) ruled that some European countries were breaking international trade rules by stopping the import of GM foods and crops.

The EU has still not complied with this ruling and its moratorium has reduced US exports of bulk commodities such as corn and soybeans into Europe.

And ASA - which represents some 22,000 growers - has added that there will be more and more GM soybeans on the market in the future. It said that there are likely to be 20 additional new varieties of GM soybeans in the next 10 years

1. Well, since GM cars aren't doing too well, it makes sense that they now make food.

2. I hope the EU continues to ban GM crops,

and put them out of business.
With the state of the US economy, I don't think they have much of a leg to stand on.
