The European Union may have no formal objection to genetically modified organisms (GMO) but the same can not be said for a large number of environmental and consumer groups in those countries.
The New York Times reports, "Many supermarket chains across France, Britain, Italy and Austria, among others, yanked all genetically modified products from their shelves three years ago and are in no hurry to restock. Most recently, hundreds of Europe's most respected chefs banded together to form a group called Euro-Toques to battle the biotechnology lobby."
