True, but it is, at least, another side to the one previously presented!

I think the EU has actually done (or was doing) quite a good job of "protecting" us from GMOs - against stiff opposition from the US, & some EU member states (such as the UK).[...] The Commission voted in favour of approving this particular GM sweetcorn after the governments of EU member states had failed to reach an agreement on it

Now this is something that gives me problems. If the member states can't agree on something *why* should the EU Commission be able to force something through? Surely the default or fallback position should be "no" rather than "yes"?

The US, Canadian, & Argentinian governments complained to the WTO about the EU's GM moratorium, as they believed it was an unscientific ban, & went against free trade & WTO rules etc.

That's the *USA* complaining about breaches of Free Trade and WTO rules?? The people who were going to ban *cashmere*?!
