lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is unacceptable that a directive on environmental liability should not include pollution from the use of genetically modified plants (GMOs). In Parliament’s readings of directives on seed corn and the tracing and labelling of GMOs, it has been clear that there is a risk of unintentional pollution, even with the correct use of GMOs. What is at issue is pollution due to the spreading of pollen and waste seed accumulated in the seed bank. The experts argue about how much waste seed might be accumulated in the seed bank of the earth and for how long. That being said, GMO pollution is not included in the proposal for a directive on environmental liability. That is incredible, partly in the light of the fact that the ‘polluter pays’ principle is established in the Treaties. I am therefore able to support the proposals concerning GMOs by Mr Lannoye and others. I think that the ‘polluter pays’ principle should be more than just words. It is time that the EU lived up to its ideals. The EU should therefore require the Member States to impose a duty on GMO corn seed and feed – a duty used to fund control and supervision, as well as indemnification for damage that arises from correct use."@en1
