US Threatens Trade War over GM Food

[Guest guest]

Hey Guys: This article (on Oneworld.net, an excellent news site IMO)

really floored me. Here's the URL:

And here's a snippet, because it's rather unbelievable (at least to me)

without one!

 

" The Bush Administration is angry about a proposal to amend an EU

Directive, which would make it compulsory to label all food containing GM

ingredients or derivatives. The EU has already applied an informal

moratorium on approvals for GM crops. Now the United States is preparing

to demand that the World Trade Organisation (WTO) overturns the proposed

amendment. Washington is threatening a trade war if Brussels doesn’t back

down. "

 

YIKES!!
