Us threat over GM food
10 January 2003
The US is threatening to bring an action under the WTO against the EU moratorium on licensing new GM food and crops.
Commenting, Friends of the Earth’s GM campaigner Pete Riley said:
“The European Union is perfectly justified in sticking to its moratorium on GM food and crops. This technology has not been properly tested, it threatens our environment and is deeply unpopular throughout Europe. European politicians must stand up to this US attempt to bully us into accepting these unwanted products.”
