World Trade Agency Rules for U.S. in Biotech Dispute

By ANDREW POLLACK

The United States won a closely watched trade dispute yesterday when

the World Trade Organization ruled that the European Union breached

international rules by restricting imports of genetically modified

crops and food made from them.

 

The decision, which was not made public but was discussed by federal

trade officials, also represents a victory for the agricultural

biotechnology industry, which for years has been battling opposition to

its products from consumers and governments in Europe and some other

countries.
