".
There is much to be welcomed in the new directive when compared to its predecessor.
I particularly welcome the recognition of the possible wider direct and indirect effects and risks of the release of GMOs into the environment. I am pleased that there will be a public register of the location of GMOs whether deliberately released or placed on the market. The requirement concerning the termination of unauthorised releases also clarifies the need for a consistent response.
However, I regret the delay on the ban of antibiotic markers and the qualification attached to this ban, the streamlining and setting of shorter deadlines for the authorisation procedures and a number of other factors in this final result.
I have therefore abstained in the vote. The whole regulatory package is not yet clear: for example in relation to liability and the export to non-GMO states. Neither am I convinced that the research capability currently exists to fully assess the factors contained in the directive. The needs of our environment and biodiversity should be paramount in this area. I do not believe that is the currently the position of Council."@en1
