Article Abstract:

Widespread European consumer concern over the safety of genetically engineered food may sour trade relations between Europe and the US, the leading proponent of the biotechnology industry. Public pressure to reform biotechnology regulation has led the European Union to propose international biosafety standards. However, the biotechnology industry in the US expects free trade principles will outweigh environmental concerns.
