Brasher: Rulings may force biotech impact studies
WASHINGTON FARM REPORT

Court decisions against USDA can hold up transgenetic approvals.

By PHILIP BRASHER
REGISTER WASHINGTON BUREAU


Washington, D.C. - A series of court decisions is calling into question the 
U.S. Agriculture Department's regulation of genetically engineered crops.

government's response, the cases could lead to a slowdown in 
commercialization of new transgenic varieties, experts say.
