RAEL'S COMMENT: Wonderful news! It is about time to promote and develop GMOs no matter what the fanatic anti-science obscurantists say or do and to enforce the law, even if it requires arresting anti-GMO terrorists like Jose Bove and his friends and keeping them in jail for good. The anti-terrorist laws should apply to those destroying GM crops, because that is really a terrorist strategy.

France fined over GM crop delay
The EU's top court has ordered France to pay a 10m-euro (£8.7m; $12.9m) fine for delaying implementing EU rules on genetically modified (GM) crops.
The European Court of Justice said France's conduct was "unlawful".
France has refused to apply a 2002 law which set out how biotech crops could be planted in areas where other conventional crops were being grown.
Paris has said internal opposition by environmentalists is too strong for it to press ahead with the new measures.
On Tuesday, the Luxembourg-based court said its ruling would act as a warning to others that ignoring EU rules had a price.
In 2004, the European Commission won a court order against France, but Paris only began implementing the rules in July this year.
