Will these two programs facilitate or hinder trade between Europe and the US and with their trade partners around the world?
It might hinder trade between the US and Europe, because at a certain moment Europe may say that it only accepts import and marketing of US organically labeled products that are produced in a 100% organic way (including the use of organic seeds) for those species for which the EU has a ‘no-exemption’ rule.

The current rules of the US don't go as far than those in Europe.
