GMO Corn Panel Will Be Complicated by the Electoral Agenda

International Trade attorney Turenna Ramírez Ortiz was interviewed by El Financiero about the dispute resolution panel regarding Mexico's decree on genetically modified corn.

Ms. Ramírez Ortiz emphasized the importance of separating the political agenda from the fundamental principles of respect for the law and judicial security, as well as investment protection.
