U.S. seeks to end EU biotech moratorium Reuters, 05.13.03, 10:22 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States, joined by Canada, Argentina and Egypt, will file a World Trade Organization complaint in hopes of getting the EU to lift its 5-year-old ban on new genetically modified products, U.S. officials announced Tuesday.
The move adds one more irritant to U.S.-European relations that already are badly frayed by the staunch opposition of France and Germany to the American-led war against Iraq.
A group of nine other countries also announced their support for the WTO complaint.
