The status of the relationship between genetically modified organisms (GMO) and the trade related to them has become a crucial issue. While the questions of access to genetic resources and of the sharing of their financial benefits often position northern and southern countries on opposing sides, trade in GMOs creates new conflicts. Here, the confrontation is primarily transatlantic, between the US, wishing to export a growing yield of genetically modified crops, and the EU, wishing not to receive them. The US and the EU, which are the two principal protagonists of world trade, have thus adopted completely opposite legal strategies. The relationship between GMOs and trade gives rise to several important legal issues, which will be examined in turn in light of the different scenarios that manifest themselves in the EC.
