Denmark, EU Seen Lagging on Genetic Research Over Food Row Danish and European Union companies will fall behind their non-European counterparts on genetic research, if the EU doesn't abandon its plans to block approval of genetically modified crops until stricter safety standards are in place, Danish newspaper Borsen reported, citing Frederik Lunden, chief executive at Monsanto Danmark, the Danish subsidiary of Monsanto Co., the world's second-largest maker of crop protection products such as herbicides. When the EU opens up to these products again in a few years, ''European companies will have a lot to catch up,'' said Lunden. Monsanto, Denmark's Danisco A/S and DLF Trifolium AS don't intend to withdraw their joint application to the European Union to press ahead with genetically modified sugar beet, as requested by the Danish government, Lunden said.
