Except that no-one in Europe will buy GM soya beans...

Romania has a very serious weed problem


Romania has another very serious problem: The "biotech" industry has
hardly been regulated at all until very recently, so Romania has been

I would suggest you read:

"Romania: The Dumping Ground for Genetically Engineered Crops"

for the real story of GM in Romania.
