lpv:translated text	"Mr Dali has presented an unacceptable proposal that resembles a Trojan Horse. Although he allows the Member States to ban approved GM crops in all or part of their territory, they cannot invoke grounds relating to health and environmental risks. Thus, on the one hand, the Commission is disregarding the clear message sent to it by those Member States that have declared themselves no-GMO zones and, on the other hand, it shows no respect for the will of its citizens, a large proportion of whom are against GMOs. I voted in favour of the Lepage report, because it goes some way towards strengthening and improving the Commission proposal, by plugging the gaps in it and, at the same time, making the European Parliament a strong player in the negotiations that are bound to follow. Thanks to the approved report, environmental protection, biodiversity, natural and agricultural characteristics in particular, respect for public opinion, compulsory measures to combat contamination and socio-economic reasons are now criteria for national bans on the cultivation of GMOs. The proposal will also be governed by the ‘polluter pays’ principle and the principle of risk prevention, thanks to the amendment tabled by the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green left, which I supported and which was approved."@en1
