The European Union has allowed Austria and Hungary to ban the growing of GE foods from from Monsanto, an agricultural biotechnology cooperation. So far, only one GE crop is grown in Europe. A form of corn called MON 810.


I don't really know what GE foods are, or their advantages or disadvantages, but If Europe is taking a stand, then good for them. Because of this, Washington is upset, who keeps whining to the WTO about obstacles to plant GE crops.
