"The North Atlantic clash over genetically modified (GM) foods highlights some of the economic, cultural, and political differences between the United States and the European Union. The E.U.'s de facto moratorium on approving genetically modified foods, and its requirement for labeling such foods, contrasts sharply with the US position that the foods are safe and need no special markings." (GENEWATCH) This article discusses the reasons "why the European Union and United States see GMOs so differently."
