Mexico rejects US GM corn trade demands

摘要

The Mexican government has rejected escalated demands from the US to modify its ongoing phase out of genetically modified corn (maize) uses. The response follows the government formally receiving a US Trade Representative request for a dispute settlement panel to be established resolve the differences between the national governments over Mexico’s decree ordering the phase out of GM maize uses. A dispute panel request follows escalation of an unresolved dispute between United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA – successor trade deal to NAFTA) partners.
