".
During this second reading of the draft regulation on genetically modified food and feed (Scheele report), I voted in favour of the following amendments, which are appreciably tougher than those adopted by the Council:
amendments, in particular Amendment No 19, reducing the threshold for labelling authorised GMOs from 0.9% to 0.5 %;
amendments putting an end to the tolerance of non-authorised GMOs in the food chain when their percentage is lower than 0.5%, in particular Amendment No 43; (incidentally, the question arises as to how the Council can, in this case, propose a threshold of 0.5%, when it maintains that such a threshold is technically impossible where the labelling of authorised GMOs is concerned);
amendments requiring the Member States to take measures to prevent the contamination of traditional crops by GMO crops (Compromise Amendments Nos 44 and 45);
amendments authorising the Member States to take emergency measures to restrict or prohibit the use of an authorised GMO when the latter subsequently proves to present a risk (for example, Amendment No 40).
Above and beyond these technical questions, I shall explain the position I have adopted on principle in my explanation of vote on the parallel report relating to the traceability of GMOs."@en1
