So should many of the EEC. It's a red hot topic in europe, but the discussion goes round and round with nothing being resolved as vested interests get involved. Probably GM crops is the biggest issue between the US and EEC we just don't want them but the american press seem to put it across as simple protectionism on europe's part. So when you read that in your press bear that in mind.
Monsanto has had to pull out of the UK because of the protests against their crop trials. This is the company that said DDT was harmless and discredited their own scientists when they tried to publish the results of their own tests. People just don't trust the agri companies any more.
