"Mr Papadimoulis, I do not know if I made it clear earlier, but I will say it again: my sympathies are with natural products, with traditional varieties. I like apples which, though they may sometimes be uglier, have more flavour, more aroma and, in my view, are of a higher quality. This is not just true of apples, but of a whole range of foodstuffs.
That is the reality. Furthermore, I defend farmers who opt for traditional agriculture, with selected, traditional and natural products which, furthermore, uses traditional fertilisers which prevent the introduction of chemical substances or genetically-modified organisms.
This must not prevent the cultivation of these products, which – according to all scientific analyses – do not cause any harm to human health, which may in some cases resolve problems and difficulties – very obviously in certain regions of the world – which improve the performance of agricultural production and which furthermore are completely detectable – traceable, as I said earlier.
There are problems such as cross-pollination and the contamination of natural products through pollination by genetically-modified products. This has also been studied and, in fact, in the cases we have authorised, these risks are absolutely minimal or quite simply non-existent."@en1
