I hear and read that the European Union has safety concerns about
growing genetically modified crops and the food produced from them.
But I never hear details. So here is the question. What are the
SPECIFIC fears of the European Union in regard to genetically modified
crops?


1) A paranoid population. (really)

2) A useful trade blocking mechanism.


3) they are introduced by American Companies


Actually several of the leading companies are European based, but the major
US player, Monsanto, is who most people associate with regarding agriculture
GE technology.
