EU 'scared' of GMOs, says AGRI chair Castro

摘要

The Italian Socialist and Democrat chair of the European Parliament's Agriculture Committee Paolo de Castro has accused the EU of being "scared" of innovation, particularly biotechnology and genetically modified organisms.rnSpeaking at a 9 June dinner debate on the competitiveness of the agri-food industry, de Castro outlined the situation in which the industry found itself, such as increasing demand with dwindling supplies, and argued that to face those challenges Europe needed to invest in research and encourage innovation.
