I would not be doing justice to the Canola Council to suggest that I really understand their biotech issues in depth, but I have been part of delegations that have gone over. I think their major issue at the moment is in terms of the EU inability to accommodate any level in the infinitesimal amounts of biotech products, genetically modified corn or soybeans that have not yet been approved by the EU and which render shipping quantities of non-genetically modified crops very risky because of the inability to know ahead of time that there won't be this tiniest bit of GM residue found in the container vehicle. They are looking for the EU to accommodate some level of maximum residue tolerance, very low, until they reach the point where they can approve these items.
That would be the major issue in terms of the EU, their inflexibility currently under their existing regime to allow any residue when the amounts that would be in these shipments would be of no public health concern.
