“Agricultural powerhouses France and Germany sought on Monday to break the deadlock that has kept genetically modified crops out of most of Europe, saying rules must be changed to ease their approval. … The EU has not approved any new GMOs for growing since 1998, in large part because of huge public resistance to what are sometimes called ‘Frankenstein foods.’ At present, EU biotech policy involves some five or six departments of the executive European Commission, who can often be at odds. But with international grain prices soaring and supply shortages being faced by the EU’s livestock and animal feed sectors, pressure has been rising for the Commission to do something about the speed at which the EU approves new GMOs.” (11/27/070)
