lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to thank Corinne Lepage, whose persistence and determination on this has been truly formidable. I thank her for her inclusiveness. This report has been significantly changed from the Commission report. I am very happy to support Member States’ discretion on most grounds, but not on scientific grounds. It is our duty as co-legislators to open up debate and make decisions based on evidence. In the European Parliament we have established a worldwide reputation for sound scientific decisions. Sometimes these processes are long-winded, sometimes frustrating, but we make them work. They form the basis of REACH, plant protection and many other regulations. EFSA is not perfect, but let us put our efforts into continuous improvement, not into undermining their authority. If you vote for this proposal, be careful what you wish for. It could be a Pandora’s box. It does not free up any logjam, it just glues it up further, and we will end up in continual wrangling on this issue."@en1
