"Madam President, following the approval of the two GMO reports we are debating today, we unfortunately face the imminent cancellation of the moratorium, which is something I deeply regret. The EU should not be turned into one large biological exploratorium, as is happening now.
That being said, ‘there is nothing so bad that it is not good for something’, as an old Danish proverb would have it. Now, there is a further argument for promoting organic farming. It is a clear signal to consumers that the only way in which they can be certain of steering clear of GMOs is by buying organic products, especially when you think of all the animal products whose labels will not state whether GMOs were used in the animals’ feed. The political system has abandoned all responsibility. From now on, it is crucial for the GMO-free areas of Europe to be extended through organic farming and for other farmers voluntarily to refrain from using GMOs."@en1
