   European consumers are more resolute in keeping GM products off the supermarket shelves. ‘'There is a lot of consumer resistance towards GM products in Europe," Patrick Deboyser, minister counsellor for health and food safety at the EU's Bangkok mission, told IPS. ‘'Few GM products are offered for sale within the EU."
