"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I do not understand why there are so many problems in allowing the individual Member States to decide whether or not to allow the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Our motto is ‘United in diversity’, is it not? What is there to fear if an individual Member State, in accordance with the will of its citizens, bans or at least partially reduces the use of products resulting from the cultivation of GMOs? I cannot see where the problem is, if we want to talk about democracy, rights and protecting consumers.
has always kept consumers close to its heart; we are only scared of the aversion to origin marking on food product labels and the desire to thwart ‘Made in’ labelling. We want the consumer to be informed and also to have the right not to eat genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mrs Lepage, for her excellent work. As shadow rapporteur, I guarantee that the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group will be voting for compromise amendments, and we will only vote in favour of the final text if these amendments are passed."@en1
