lpv:spoken text	"While I agree with the principles of the report and the need for Member States to maintain control in relation to approval of the cultivation of GMOs, it is important that we do not create a dysfunctional single market for produce within the EU. The draft report does not deal with the dysfunctional legislative process for GM cultivation or the authorisation process for new technologies. A science-led approach is needed but it is important that both farmers’ and consumers’ concerns are addressed. Research and innovation in agriculture is important for the survival of the industry, the EU must not be left behind. Those who would like to remain GMO-free must also be respected; GMO contamination is a worry which must be addressed. Agriculture must evolve, be more sustainable and find more efficient ways to use expensive inputs; this will involve embracing new technology. In moving to embrace new technology we must be confident the market is willing to purchase it."@en1
