"I voted for the proposal amending Directive 2001/18/EC as regards the possibility for Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs in their territory. The directive and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed establish a very tight framework which, if correctly enforced, will offer a high level of protection for human life and health, animal health and welfare, the environment and consumer interests, while ensuring the efficient functioning of the internal market. The directive only allows GMOs to be placed on the market if a specific environmental risk assessment has been carried out. Annex II, which establishes the principles applicable to the environmental risk assessment, requires that direct and indirect immediate and delayed effects be taken into account, as well as an analysis carried out of the cumulative long-term effects on flora and fauna, soil fertility, soil degradation of organic material, the feed/food chain, biological diversity, animal health and resistance problems in relation to antibiotics."@en1
