The AP is reporting that the United States will file a formal WTO complaint against the European Union’s regulations of genetically modified (GM) foods. The EU has maintained a moratorium on the new approval of GM foods without any scientific justification (and, incidentally, in violation of EU law). The WTO case against the EU rules is quite strong and has been in the works for some time. If successful, it will open important agricultural markets for farmers in the U.S., as well as the developing world, and strike a blow against environmental fear-mongering.
