"We Swedish Christian Democrats wish to emphasise that we voted against the second and third parts in the split vote on paragraph 36 which asserted – mistakenly – that ‘a clear framework now exists for the release of genetically modified organisms in Europe which will ensure maximum consumer protection and environmental protection’ and – also mistakenly – that ‘it would therefore not be justified to continue the de facto moratorium on the release of GMOs’. We have also actively supported, inter alia, Amendment 8 which warns against a development leading to a situation in which individual farmers or entire nations become dependent on certain large corporations dependent in turn upon gene patents. The Swedish Christian Democrats wish to stress that personal genetic information falls under the heading of fundamental rights of privacy and that it must therefore be protected so as to prevent third parties such as private insurance companies, employers, public authorities, commercial interests and others from gaining access to it or being able to make use of it. We have therefore supported amendments along these lines, especially Amendment 27."@en1
