I like very much the following sentence: "[..] It is a flawed report and does not offer countries watertight > legislation to ban GM crops on their soil, it will instead, in my opinion > open the flood gates to GM crops despite strong public resistance to them. > "
Ah, because all GM feed for animal industry isn't GMO. Given already high cost related to production of feed and crops in Europe the only way, in our almost-free-market, to keep up the competitivity against foreign countries will be to susbidies our farmers once again. And as far as I know EU subsidization agricultural politics have been quite a failure till now. Rationally I'd say that fighting the status quo is not wise, as we canno't defeat the whole world accepting and exploting GMO crops. EU couldn't compete at the same level.
