lpv:translated text	"Mr President, according to its statute, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an independent source of scientific advice on risks associated with the food chain. Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, may I say that I have my doubts about this, and I am not the only one. Let us take one particular example: many States such as Denmark and France have prohibited the use of bisphenol A in feeding bottles following a large number of studies demonstrating its harmfulness. However, EFSA continues to permit its use in products intended for consumption, in flagrant breach of the precautionary principle. EFSA has also accepted every single application to use GMOs that has been submitted to it. There have been 125 such applications in total, though. Do you not find this strange? The Commissioner responsible for this matter, Mr Dalli, last week distanced himself from EFSA on the subject of bisphenol A, and the Council has been requesting details on the way in which the agency operates since 2008. I therefore request, as a minimum and as quickly as possible, a joint hearing of EFSA by Parliament’s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety and the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection. We must dispel the doubts hanging over EFSA so as to ensure better protection of the public, and of their health, which is at stake."@en1
