The German cabinet has approved draft legislation banning the cultivation of genetic engineered (GE) crops in Germany. This will have little to no effect on the German agricultural sector as no GE crops have been grown in Germany since 2009. Furthermore, this bill would not impact U.S. exports to Germany.
