| Title | TRADE AND IMPORT OF GMO PRODUCTS IN EU |
| Summary | Just as trade and import are crucial elements in the world of every economic transaction, so is the issue of GMO products which plays a very important role in the food industry. EU is considered as a big market and crucial player in the world of science, law, food and health regulation. The nearly total ban of GMO products and the use of the Precautionary principle play a key role in the field of customer distrust to this food. Of course this attitude is covered with scientific uncertainty, consumer disappointment and some food borne health hazards in the past. Circumstances and unwritten rules under which the food market is running are very relative and trends are changing quickly. The past trend under which GMO products were introduced has now changed. Comparative evidences of distrust are provided from both EU and USA. International agreements, EU regulations and consumer attitudes are the main comparing models and they serve as the factor of determination of the GMO food future. Popularity of it amongst consumers is weak and the trend of naturally sustainable food is playing, and will play, the major role in the food business. Farmers, producers and sellers will have to follow this trend since their goal is to get a bigger market share, and it is only possible by satisfying customer’s needs in the best way. |
