lpv:translated text	"Madam President, time is short and I am speaking primarily to express my support for the co-rapporteur of the Breyer report in the PPE-DE Group, Erna Hennicot-Schoepges. I think it is very unfortunate that the majority of my group chose to ignore Mrs Hennicot-Schoepges’ advice on several important points, and not to support important proposals contained in the report. Of course, I agree that the requirement to provide information 48 hours before spraying is impractical and would not work, but it is not reasonable to conclude that we do not need any information requirement at all. Mrs Hennicot-Schoepges’ proposal here, as a compromise, is well-balanced. Another important issue is the cut-off criteria for particularly sensitive substances. Above all, in our decision we must of course be consistent with the decisions taken by Parliament in relation to the new REACH chemicals legislation. One of the fundamental principles there was to phase out substances where it is difficult to establish thresholds for risks in the case of high-level concern substances. Obviously we must also follow that line here, particularly as we are dealing with substances that come into contact or are liable to come into contact with things we eat. Another issue on which I support the rapporteur, Mrs Breyer, is the proposal on zoning. When I saw the Commission’s proposal, I immediately found it interesting to try to divide Europe into zones that are relatively similar in terms of vegetation conditions, climate and so on. However, the proposed zoning is unfortunately too arbitrary. I cannot support this approach and believe that the Member States must be allowed to retain a right to refuse different preparations even if countries nearby have given them the green light. I would like to address other issues, but my time is over."@en1
