My argument still stands: In reality, the European Union has approved several genetically modified crops, and is having no particular safety concerns in regards to that. In contrast to this, you appear to be have come to the opposite impression. Because of something you heard and read. QED, you have been misinformed. If you don't base your conclusions on things you hear and read, what do you base them on? I've seen a preponderance of information coming out of Europe that they are scared of American gm crops for safety reasons. Granted, alot of that information has come from left wing enviromental whackos. But the EU certainly hasn't done much to give any different impression. And if they aren't shutting out American grain due to saftey concerns, what is the real reason? That is what I want to hear them say. I just want to hear the truth. snip again. I take that to mean that the EU wants complete government control exercised over U.S. producers in the same manner that European producers and controlled. But my perception is a bit biased. After all, I am one of those free Americans. Probably you just don't appreciate how important it is to the European Union, that goods and produce can be traded freely across internal borders within the EU, unimpeded by national legislation imposed by individual Member States. How could I not recognize the importance of free trade across internal borders? Remember, I'm an American. Free trade across member states' borders has been the rule here for about 225 years. Yes, we have some restrictions and local regulations that have cross border impacts. But consider this example. Some dairymen in Colorado sell their milk to an ice cream plant in Iowa. The ice cream end up on shelves in California grocery stores. If we didn't have free trade across our internal borders, that wouldn't be happening. |
