"I voted in favour of the proposal for a regulation to allow Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in part or all of their territory. This is a good compromise between an outright ban, which would be difficult to achieve, and an authorisation that would prevent Member States who wanted to apply the precautionary principle from doing so. The text adopted on Tuesday will therefore give Member States the freedom to choose and, if they so wish, to prohibit GMO crops for reasons other than health or environmental concerns. Parliament has amended the European Commission’s proposal by calling on Member States to strengthen measures to avoid contamination of conventional or organic farm produce by GMO crops. It also requires Member States to establish a system of financial liability in which the polluter has to pay for any contamination."@en1
