It is true that the long-term consequences of GMO technology are still unknown. There are contradictory scientific statements, and many people are afraid of the possible dangers and risks. Precautions must therefore be taken and their use in agriculture must not be insisted upon.
Directive 2001/18/EC concerning the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms is in force. This directive covers the experimental release of GMOs into the environment, in other words the introduction of GMOs into the environment for experimental purposes (such as for field testing) and the placing of GMOs on the market (products containing or consisting of GMOs), such as for cultivation, import or processing into industrial products.
We believe it is important as a minimum to have wider control of GMO technology, at least in relation to procedures, as the European Parliament now intends, but we stress the need to exercise caution, whether in relation to agriculture or processed foodstuffs."@en1
