Thank you.
That's a good question. Recently, members of the EU as a trading group have adopted GM policies, but they left it up to the individual countries to decide which GM traits they wanted in their system or not. When it got down to it, Germany, France, and Britain politically found that it was unfeasible. They don't want farmers rioting in the streets. So for the trading groups, yes, GM sounds great--it's safe, it's science-based--but when it got down to the individual politics, they wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Thank you.
