lpv:translated text	". I voted for this report. It is essential to point out that this involves, first and foremost, a health problem. An increasing number of diseases are undoubtedly linked to over-use of pesticides. We should exert pressure on the various players concerned in order to rationalise and significantly reduce the use of these pesticides. As far as possible, recourse to alternative crop-protection solutions should be encouraged. We are aware of the responsibility of the agricultural professions, whose ambition is to achieve optimum product quality while preserving their way of life. The environmental stakes in this matter are high: the quality of water and soil is suffering badly from over-use of pesticides, frequently with tragic, and sometimes as yet unknown, repercussions for human health. It is vital for research to continue in this sector. That is why I feel that, at this stage of research, it is premature to rule out the use of GMOs as a way of combating harmful organisms. Strict independent monitoring combined with successful application of these new methods will allow organic agriculture to develop rationally."@en1
