There is also a lot of fear of the GM crops destroying our already great crops. We dont see any need to actually risk anything with crops that have been modified when we have perfectly great crops already.

What risk? Can you provide ant source for that risk.

And, by the way, apart that we don't have perfectly great crops, those crops are already totally modified.

It seems the risk for Europe would be giving control of their agriculture to a non-EU corporation like Monsanto.

Really? Right now, there is a lot of crops patented and it is not happening.

Patenting has nothing to do with liking GMO or not, this is just an excuse
