"The European Parliament and Council Directive of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), together with the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of 22 March 2003 on genetically modified food and feed, establish a very strict framework which should, if applied correctly, ensure a high level of protection for human life and health, the health and decent living conditions of animals, environmental protection and the interests of consumers, while also securing the proper functioning of the internal market. The directive does not permit GMOs to be marketed unless a special environmental risk assessment is carried out. The requirements of the directive in the area of risk assessment are not complied with, however, and these shortcomings in its implementation explain the opposition in many Member States to the cultivation of GMOs on their territory. It should be noted that the issue of cultivating and releasing transgenic plants on a territory has to be distinguished from permits for marketing and consumption, as well as the free movement of goods and products, to which this text does not apply. In addition to from this, GMO cultivation should not result in additional costs for conventional or organic agriculture. We must therefore stipulate that Member States are obliged to adopt measures to prevent GMOs being present in other products."@en1
