"I supported the amended Lepage report, which seeks to strengthen the rules at European level by allowing Member States who do not wish to use genetically modified seeds to present clear and practical arguments for doing so. I agree with the report’s analysis, namely that the Commission’s initial proposal was actually too vague and could be taken to mean that genetically modified organisms could be rejected on purely ethical grounds, but not for environmental or health reasons. This was not acceptable. The aim here is to send a signal to the Member States and force them, at long last, to accept their responsibilities on this subject. In addition, the report gives an indication of what should be included in the Commission’s revised text, which it is due to present in 2012."@en1
