lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, authorising genetically modified organisms in agriculture, animal husbandry and on the Union’s market represents a major threat to organic farming, and above all to consumer health. It makes no sense to resort to GMOs in the event of overproduction of natural crops. The introduction of GMOs will result in the devastation of the natural environment. There may well be unexpected consequences for future generations, for example serious allergies, and also increased resistance of pests and weeds, increased resistance of bacteria to antibiotics and the disappearance of beneficial insects. Authorising GMOs will result in disputes amongst farmers. Those who decide to use GMOs in their production will be burdened with costs because of large claims. They will become dependent on the biotech companies. Potential controls on GMOs do not guarantee effectiveness. Dutch research confirms that it is almost impossible to produce meat without GMOs. Facts such as these undermine consumer confidence in organic farming. The laws of biology mean it is impossible for traditional farming to coexist with GMO farming. The Union is demonstrating its own kind of legal schizophrenia by authorising GMOs on the market whilst banning the use of GMOs in agriculture and cattle raising in organic farming. In view of the major dangers posed by GMOs, which are not yet fully understood, the European Parliament and the Commission are taking on an enormous moral responsibility by legislating in a way that runs counter to nature and the good of mankind. The future of European farming lies in organic agriculture and animal husbandry based on traditional and natural methods. I thank you."@en1
