Biotech industry withdraws GM foods in the EU
The European Union is today discussing the official withdrawal by the biotech industry of five genetically modified (GM) foods and crops, including the first GM crop that was ever grown in Europe. Friends of the Earth Europe has highlighted this as further proof that GM crops are failing. Helen Holder, GMO campaigner for Friends of the Earth Europe said: ”There is no market for GM food and crops, and companies are even withdrawing them from the market.
