USDA/FAS GAIN report - Annual
biotechnology report
NETHERLANDS
Highlights: The
Benelux region imports a large quantity of U.S. feed
products,
which require labeling for GM content under the European
Union’s traceability and labeling
legislation. The importation of GM food products from the
U.S. is nearly absent. The slow
approval process of new GM events by the EU could further
harm U.S. exports to the
Benelux, in particular the trade in corn gluten feed.
