".
I accept my responsibilities. Mr President, I can assure you that you are not here for nothing. I accept all my responsibilities in this connection and I apologise with regard to Mrs McGuinness.
In response to Mrs Doyle, on the question of possible reviews, particularly peer reviews, the Council has begun a very fruitful exchange of views with experts from EFSA, in particular as regards environmental risk assessment. These discussions have made a positive contribution, particularly on the theme linked with reinforcing assessment in matters of the environment, on improving the application of technological expertise, as I have told you, and taking account of certain sensitive areas.
Having a peer review seems to me to be really going in the right direction. I consider it would be a healthy development. As regards the concerns expressed by Mrs McGuinness, I believe that we cannot dispense with a rigorous assessment of the long-term environmental consequences of using GMOs. I am aware of American tendencies in this matter. As regards European concerns, we must also bear long-term concerns in mind, and therefore be really very rigorous in the assessment that we must conduct."@en1
