lpv:translated text	"Mr President, no one knows the long-term consequences of GMOs, and the science points in widely differing directions. The consequences for the natural world and for health are impossible to predict, and I do not believe that animals and humans should be used as live experiments. Unfortunately, GMOs are already legal right around the world. This will have transnational consequences, including in countries that have tighter restrictions in this area. Therefore, this legislation that we are adopting is absolutely crucial. Unbeknown to them, citizens are eating genetically modified meat and dairy products because farmers are giving genetically modified feed to their animals. I would like to see a global ban, but that is not supported by the majority, either here or globally, despite the fact that it is our duty to protect people, animals and the natural environment. I would like to thank the rapporteur for her comprehensive work. Mrs Lepage’s report takes us a step in the right direction, namely to allow the Member States to decide for themselves on this matter. I support this, but at the same time I am frustrated that GMO products will remain a part of European agriculture and foodstuffs."@en1
