I don't particularly agree with anti-American aspects of the EU because I don't think America is conspiring to take over Europe. I'm certainly pro-EU but I'm not anti-America either. The anti-GM aspect to the EU is not one that makes sense to me. It's pseudoscientific -- but it makes sense because it's a diplomatic regulation to have considering the chances that every country in the EU is hardly going to be Pro-GM... even if there's not really any good scientific reason not to be.
