The case for a WTO complaint against Europe over agricultural biotechnology is even stronger than John suggests below. Not only did the EU adopt hyper-stringent regulations absent any scientific justification, the EU also has failed to apply its regulations in a consistent and lawful manner. Indeed, EU officials have acknowledged their failure to follow their own law. I believe it is no longer a question of whether the U.S. will file a complaint, but when, and there is little doubt that the WTO will rule in our favor.
