Some people may not feel comfortable with new technology. They may worry about environmental, social and economic consequences -- real or simply feared. Particularly in Europe, these consumer concerns have led to a resistance toward biotechnology-derived plants and food, though not medicine.
European consumer concerns may also be bolstered by a historic distrust in their governments' ability to ensure the safety of the food supply after the "mad cow" scare and more recent dioxin contamination.
Consequently, European governments have been slow to permit the importation of biotechnology-derived products, even if they have been proven safe to human and animal health and the environment. This has created friction with the United States and other trading partners, who believe sound science, should be the basis of regulatory systems.
