March 2002

From your perspective, what are currently the major issues, significant challenges and key opportunities in the industry ?
The major issues are the regulation of adventitious presence of GMOs and the free movement of food – non-tarrif barriers. The WTO is the forum where these questions will be resolved.

The significant challenge, in the anti-GMOs camp, is to be prepared and ready for the D-Day of GMOs.

In Europe, where the climate seems to be more pessimistic than in the USA, this will be the time for new consolidations driven by economic factors.
