U.S. Delays Challenge to EU GM Food Policy

摘要

The U.S. has postponed plans to challenge the European Union's (EU) moratorium on genetically modified (GM) food as a violation of World Trade Organization (WTO; Geneva) ruels, officials say. U.S. trade commissioner Robert Zoellick said last month that he had broad support in Washington to pursue a WTO case, but White House officials now say they want to hold off to avoid angering allies prior to a possible war in Iraq.
