Canadian canola still banned from Europe despite WTO ruling
Genetically Modified (GM) canola from Canada remains banned from the European Union (EU) despite a recent ruling from the World Trade Organization (WTO) that EU policy on this issue was unjustified, according to industry sources. "Nothing has changed," Diane Wreford, Assistant Vice-President, Public Affairs for the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) said. "There has been no victory." She said that what the WTO did rule is that the EU was unjustified in blocking GM canola imports from 1999 and 2003.
