“Importers of corn from abroad do not like this, but we have suggested that we jointly carry out research so that neither Mexico nor the United States consume genetically modified corn and so far they have not accepted it. They can do their studies, imagine the companies that are behind this, because in everything there are preferences, they are so powerful that they influence the designation of the Nobel Prizes,” said López Obrador.
-What would Mexico do if it loses this case with the United States?
-There are panels that are agreed between countries when these discrepancies exist, such as international courts to go to. They and we go and that is where they resolve. So far there has been no problem because there is still trade in corn. What we do is that we maintain our decree of not using genetically modified corn for human consumption.
