“The United States on Monday criticized ‘unnecessary’ European Union rules against genetically modified US crop imports as it prepares to enter free-trade talks with the EU. EU restrictions notably have resulted in delays in the approval of new GM traits ‘despite positive assessments by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),’ the US Trade Representative’s office said in a report on reducing trade sanitary barriers. The USTR also criticized the EU for imposing ‘commercially infeasible requirements’ on GE content in food products under EU Traceability and Labeling regulations.”
