imports

BRUSSELS, Belgium — European Union nations voted today to ban U.S.
shipments of suspect corn gluten animal feed unless it has full
assurance that the imports are free of an unauthorized genetically
modified corn.

The move could affect millions of dollars' worth of
corn gluten exports. The dispute centers on a batch
of Bt10 corn that Swiss agrochemicals company
Syngenta AG inadvertently sold in the United States
and exported to Europe without approval.
