    Introduction: for us farmers who grow genetically modified crops For us farmers who grow genetically modified crops, it will be more difficult to enter the European market, because the relevant provisions to be passed by the European Parliament will require food entering Europe to show warning labels, list more extensive warning contents, and go through more cumbersome approval procedures In addition to thwarting U.S agricultural companies' hopes of entering the European market, this legislation may also make the already tense trade dispute between the United States and the European Union worse The European market is the second richest in the world It is widely expected that the above legislation will be passed tomorrow 5tp will be most affected by US soybean growers Over the past five years, thanks to EU measures against genetically modified agricultural products, their soybean exports to Europe have halved, to only $1 billion a year In addition, the new rules will require two new products - cooking oil and livestock feed - to be labeled with warning labels Both products are basically derived from genetically modified soybeans in the United States 5tp some European supermarket chains have announced that they will not buy Edible oil that is marked as being produced from genetically modified crops Some European anti biotech groups also plan to put pressure on farmers to use American soybeans to raise animals and fatten them Alexander de Roo, vice chairman of the European Parliament's environment, public health and consumer policy committee, said the rules would deprive us farmers of market share 5tp the European Union will also require imported food to be labeled with genetically modified historical information on the ingredients used, up to the farms that produce them Some U.S grain exporters and agricultural organizations say the production and processing of U.S grain is complex and difficult to meet Bob Callanan, a spokesman for the American Soybean Association, said the idea was completely stupid 5tp the European Parliament also added a last-minute clause to the above legislation: EU Member States will have the right to restrict the cultivation of genetically modified crops in their own countries Previously, the European Union has announced the implementation of a five-year ban period plan to review and approve new genetically modified crops for cultivation and consumption These proposed regulations will replace the relevant provisions of this prohibition period Critics in the US say the legislation will effectively stop the need for genetically modified crops Some U.S agricultural organizations are urging the U.S government to file new complaints with the World Trade Organization as soon as the rules become law, most likely this fall 5Tp
