First the past several, the E.U. has not granted any new planting applications for GMO products, but an outright ban on GMO corn would be the first such full rejection of a GMO crop.
They’re worried about effects on monarch butterflies and other things, the same worries when GMO corn was introduced to Mexico. The U.S. is trying to verbally browbeat the E.U. on this issue, but it ain’t gonna happen.
I’m glad that the E.U. will actually deny this issue. It may change its mind in the future, but the decision will force the U.S., and the Monsantos and ADMs of the U.S., to do scientific legwork themselves to try to beat the E.U. ban, because the E.U. stance will give protection to developing nations to adopt similar bans.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
