Why is the United States taking the European Union to the World Trade Organization court because of its longstanding moratorium against genetically modified crops?

Are we simply bullying European consumers by forcing unwanted food down their throats as some suggest? Hardly. The United States, Canada, Argentina, Egypt and nearly a dozen other countries are merely reminding the EU to live up to the contractual provisions it agreed to years ago.

Other recent postings on this topic (e.g., Hastert Supports Challenge to European Trade Barriers) do not seem to have emphasized the scientific evidence gathered by the EU's own scientists that GM crops are safe.

EU trade representative Pascal Lamy has dug in his heels and vowed to fight for the ban.

IOW facts don't count, protecting our own is what's important. He is surely French.
