Robert Wager et al. EMBO Rep. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

The EU not only has banned the growing of nearly all GM crops but also refuses to import most GM plants and plant products. As Robert Wager and Alan McHughen argue, this may have dramatic consequences for the European livestock industry and European consumers as the rest of the world grows more and more GM crops.
