Zero sense in European approach to GM.

European Union (EU) policies regarding genetically modified (GM) crops and food have increasingly isolated its member states from much of the rest of the world in this regard over the past decade. The discussion in European countries over whether to grow and eat GM crops and food has stalled plant research, while the rest of the world has been growing and using an increasing number of GM pestor herbicideresistant plants. In fact, the EU has only approved two GM crops (Bt maize in 1998 and Amflora potatoes in 2010) for cultivation and some member states have banned the agricultural use of GM crops altogether.
