".
I voted for the Manders report on environmental liability because the amendments adopted ultimately responded quite well to the objections I had raised during yesterday’s debate. A very significant majority of Members (312 in favour, 179 against) held the same view.
The main amendments that convinced me to vote in favour are: 1) Amendments Nos 85 and 99, which call on the Commission, in particular, to draw up proposals for the application of the directive to environmental damage caused by nuclear pollution and maritime transport; 2) Amendments Nos 86 and 103, which do away with the exemption from liability linked to the prior issue of an administrative authorisation or the insufficiency of scientific and technical knowledge; 3) Amendment No 107, which calls on operators to use appropriate forms of financial security to cover their responsibilities.
Amendment No 54 was also adopted, which is not perfect but I can accept it. It calls for additional legislation regarding liability for damage caused by GMOs, notably damage that could affect non-GMO products. Of course, I call for the moratorium on GMO authorisations to remain in place until this legislation has been adopted."@en1
