I supported Mr Mulder’s amendment aiming to delete Paragraph 30 of the Van Brempt report, as I consider it ridiculous to continue to invoke the precautionary principle with regard to GMOs. For 12 years, in many parts of the world, it has been proven that the use of pesticides can be reduced thanks to genetic improvements, and there is nothing to suggest that GMOs are not a sustainable agricultural alternative.
Europe has been producing mad cows, dioxin chickens and other such delights. Throughout the rest of the world, over 50 million hectares of genetically-improved plants are being grown with fewer chemical inputs and pesticides, and there are no scientifically-proven contraindications."@en1
