lpv:translated text	"Mr President, 70% of European people do not want to eat GM food, but we are all eating it unwittingly. Magnum ice creams, for example, are made of processed GM soya. Unilever and the governments of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands prefer to leave things as they are. So do the Christian Democrats, the right-wing Liberals and David Bowe of the Socialists. However, consumers are entitled to information about whether or not they are eating GM food. Christian Democrats and the right-wing Liberals wish to keep the European people in the dark. They have one valid argument, namely that the proposed system could lead to deceit. However, deceit also occurs in the origin of food and the labelling of organic food. The Christian Democrats and the right-wing Liberals voted in favour on that occasion. It is quite sickening to think that Christian Democrats and right-wing Liberals should want to feed our citizens GM food unwittingly."@en1
