Austria says EU progress on GMO crop law too slow
Austria’s farm minister attacked the EU executive on Monday for dithering over rules for separating traditional, organic and biotech crops, saying too many issues were unresolved over Europe’s biotech crop policy. In February 2006, EU Agriculture Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel disappointed many biotech-wary countries by saying a Europe-wide law on crop separation -- known as ”coexistence” in EU jargon -- was not necessary, reversing previous suggestions that she might be ready to propose such a law.
