"Within the European Union, the debate on authorising or prohibiting the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has raged for several years. With the adoption of this report by a large majority, we wanted to bring more clarity to this debate. From now on, the Member States will be able to choose as they see fit in relation to GMOs. They will be able to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs in a simpler way than at present. The Member States will have the option to provide environmental grounds such as the maintenance of biodiversity, a lack of data or resistance to pesticides. Overall, I voted for this report simply because it offers clearer guidance on what can or cannot be tolerated with regard to the growing of GMOs in the European Union. We have sent a strong message to the Council to translate these aspirations into action."@en1
