France: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

France bans the cultivation of crops that are derived from modern biotechnology and limits research into their use. These genetically engineered (GE) crops remain the focus of consumer and popular skepticism. This attitude and policies towards GE products are unlikely to change in the near-term. Regarding new breeding techniques, France is currently caught between legal challenges in French and EU courts.
