lpv:translated text	"Mr President, whenever there is any mention of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), emotional resonance has unfortunately prevailed over rational meaning, and this has had a bearing on the Community legal framework, as we would have hoped. It is not up to us, here and now, to take a position for or against GMOs, but simply to try to find a legal and pragmatic solution that allows us to go further with the common approach that we are hoping for, over time, and following a calm, unbiased discussion. In the present circumstances, the proposal that the Commission is putting to us is a lesser evil. However, I regret the fact that the amendments tabled by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development have not been considered, and it is a pity that the Commission’s position should be more balanced than the position that Parliament will apparently take. It would be useful, and it would have been possible, for this report to be approved by a more comprehensive vote. Nevertheless, I would like to point out some positive aspects, namely deciding to ban GMOs on a case-by-case basis, and to grant farmers a sufficient period of time, in this new context, to make decisions in good time."@en1
