lpv:translated text	". The examination of this text on comparative tests and marketing of seeds should be an opportunity to recall certain guidelines relating to seeds. All possible steps must be taken to preserve the biodiversity of cultivated plants. Left to free competition alone, genetic selection tends to be concentrated among a few companies, the number of varieties placed on the market is restricted and local varieties disappear. Seed producers naturally tend to favour captive, hybrid or genetically-modified varieties, which allow them to be sure that their produce will be viable. It is therefore incumbent upon the Member States to maintain the public service dimension in plant selection, ensure that local varieties under threat are preserved and allow the production of farm seed. Lastly, we must be extremely cautious with regard to coating seeds with plant health products, a technique which can be harmful to the environment and to wildlife. This is particularly true of coatings containing powerful systemic insecticides, which have disastrous effects on pollinating insects, in particular domestic bees."@en1
