"Madam President, I should like to congratulate the rapporteurs on their excellent work. We decided to include the right of citizens to request legislative initiatives by the Commission in our European Constitution, the Treaty of Lisbon. Our citizens have taken that on board and have already set the first initiative in motion by collecting over one million signatures. The issue they selected is an issue which truly concerns us all, an issue on which, even without the signatures, the Commission should take an initiative. They have raised the issue of the independence of the EFSA in the face of the interests of biotechnology companies, an issue which Commission Dalli recognised, and have requested a moratorium on crops until reliable control mechanisms can be set up to ascertain the impact of modified organisms on human health, biodiversity and food safety. I call on the Commission to take this initiative."@en1
