Betreff: [wtogmo] Info: WTO GMO case will undergo scientific expert advise period

===8<=================== Original Nachrichtentext ===================
For your information: The GM case will go on for much longer than expected:

The Panel has decided that the case raises scientific and technical issues on which the Panel
might benefit from expert advice. Accordingly, pursuant to Article 11.2 of
the SPS Agreement and Article 13.2 of the DSU, the Panel has decided to ask
for scientific advice.

The timetable will accordingly be delayed. The selection of the experts
should be completed by the end of this month.

More details will follow.
