"The cultivation or non-cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) must remain within the competence of the Member States. That is the message that Parliament has just reiterated to the Council and the Commission. The diversity of ecosystems and agricultural practices in Europe, as well as the insufficient amount of reliable data on local impacts, resistance to pesticides, the maintenance of biodiversity, and the risks of contamination of traditional or organic farming that cannot be controlled practically, are sufficient justifications for Member States to be able to legitimately prohibit the cultivation of GMOs within their territory. At a time when we have been suffering successive hygiene crises, it is our duty to ensure high-quality food for all of our citizens."@en1
