This chapter explores the attempt to construct the European Union (EU) as a harmonised regulatory space for the governance of genetically modified crops and food, in the additional context of the EUÕs expansion eastwards. It explores how this attempt was repeatedly thwarted by national GM bans by member states, and how this has resulted in a project to construct Europe as a space of coexistence between separate agrofood systems, including GM, non-GM and organic, and the rise of GM-free regions
