The European Union says approval of GM products in the United States will wait months

Introduction: foreign power January 25: European Union Trade Commission member Pascal Lamy said that the United States will wait at least the second half of this year before the EU can loosen the ban on genetically modified products Lamy said that the EU believes that the best time and the most suitable political climate for the approval of genetically modified products from the new trial should be the second half of this year, when the new genetically modified approval law will be put into effect Lamy, commenting on scholars at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, acknowledged that the EU's delay in approving genetically modified products had frustrated trade between the United States and other trading partners in the EU Robert Zoellick, the US trade representative, said at a press conference with Lamy that when it comes to the issue of genetically modified products, we are discouraged by the EU's several-year approval process, and we are concerned about the approval process that is not carried out according to scientific methods Earlier this month, an EU official in Washington said a meeting of EU leaders in March had the hope of promoting EU approval of genetically modified products, which had been put on hold for several years since 1998 Lamy's talk on Friday did not say whether he thought the March meeting in Barcelona would not discuss GM products EU approval of 13 kinds of genetically modified products has been postponed for several years from 1998 to now, because six countries of EU, represented by France, insist on formulating stricter laws on inspection, marking and tracking of genetically modified products before approval But EU officials, under pressure from the US and fear of losses to companies in EU countries due to delayed approval of GM products, urged approval of GM products before the implementation of the new GM law.
