The result is; a massive loss of imports of corn, maize gluten and DDG’s that Europe could use in feed or food. This will result in a major loss of competitivity for the European meat industry as it will be forced to use more expensive raw materials for feed.
Not only are GM crops becoming the norm in the world outside the European Union but supply of non-GM is also threatened as the Zero tolerance of GM content rules imposed on grain and oilseed imports are impossible to live up to.
