GM crops down 3% in Europe, report says

(ANSA) - Rome, January 30 - European consumer confidence in genetically modified (GM) crops is declining, which supports Italy's decision to refuse to produce GM food, farmers' group Coldiretti said Friday.
    It cited a report from biotech crop advocate International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) which showed that the cultivation surface area of GM crops in Europe declined 3% last year.
