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.

exactly.

If GM had been pioneered by ELF or some other French company, they would be
compulsory in the EU by now.
