lpv:spoken text	"I welcome Mr Bowe’s report as a balanced and considered approach to the important subject of the release into the environment of GMOs. The three key issues covered in Mr Bowe’s report are: environmental liability, antibiotics and gene transfer. On environmental liability I tend to take the Commission’s view that this is best dealt with through horizontal legislation. On antibiotics I would be in favour of a ban on the use in GMOs of genes conferring antibiotic resistance. As far as gene transfer is concerned I believe measures must be foreseen in the new Directive to control the release of GMOs which can outcross with other plants. A strong Directive which deals with concerns about the environment and the health risks of GMOs could go a long way to ensure we realise the potential benefits from GMOs and avoid the pitfalls."@en1
