ABSTRACT
In Europe GM technology promotes an instrument of a wider neoliberal agenda which aims at linking government, public-sector research institutes and the private sector. According to the Fourth Framework Programme: efforts are made to identify the science and technology options with the favourable impact on growth, competitiveness and job creation in Europe. The research agenda conceptualised nature as an information machine whose deficiencies had to be corrected, so that the improvement would strengthen the European industrial regeneration and competitive advantage. The controversy over GM crops, foods are intensified by neoliberal regulatory frameworks and the experts, regulatory officials had anticipated that GM crops can generate herbicide-tolerant weeds or pesticide-tolerant pests. The public knowledge in crops highlights the linkages between the GM products, neo-liberal policy agendas and the European Union(EU) regulatory procedures that has incorporated the neoliberal assumptions of agricultural biotechnology promoters.
