"The European Parliament adopted a report on the recognition of agriculture on which I had to abstain. This report takes account of many concerns that are of crucial importance to farmers, such as assistance for small production, young farmers and combating price speculation. This report also highlights the need for substantial funding for the future common agricultural policy.
Even though this report is positive overall, it incorporates an intolerable measure: the speeding up of GMO authorisation procedures by the Commission.
This measure refuses to consider properly evaluating the products before they are placed on the market and makes absolutely no mention of the dangers, denounced time and again, of the marketing of GMOs.
This measure fails to take the slightest account of food security and the precautionary principle. It is a dangerous measure, and it is scandalous that it has been integrated into a report aimed at taking into account the strategic importance of agriculture.
The GMO issue should be the subject of a debate in its own right, which the European bodies refuse to conduct."@en1
