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.
