GENETICALLY modified crops are everywhere, it seems -
even in Europe. Strict laws designed to keep the
European Union free of unauthorised GM crops and
products are not working, and are posing problems for

farmers' representatives. They say that supplies of
animal feed for poultry and pigs are being refused entry
at European ports when found to contain even trace
amounts of unauthorised GM material.
