BRUSSELS, Belgium,
April 15, 2005, Associated Press via CropChoice.com:
European Union nations voted today to ban U.S. shipments
of suspect corn gluten animal feed unless it has full
assurance that the imports are free of an unauthorized
genetically modified corn.
The move could affect millions of dollars' worth of
corn gluten exports. The dispute centers on a batch
of Bt10 corn that Swiss agrochemicals compan Syngenta
AG inadvertently sold in the United States and exported
to Europe without approval.
