lpv:translated text	"− Current European legislation on genetically modified (GM) food and feed establishes a very tight framework which, if correctly enforced, should offer a high level of protection of human life and health, animal welfare, the environment and consumer interests, whilst ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market. The requirements in the directive regarding risk assessment are not being observed, and these shortcomings explain the opposition encountered in several Member States to the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on their territory. We believe there should be a strengthening of environmental assessment and of monitoring arrangements, and that Member States should be given greater powers where there is a lack of relevant information about the impact on their national territory. The high level of protection in the field of health and the environment can only be achieved if all the necessary studies on the receiving environment and the conditions in the monitoring plans are effectively at the disposal of the Member States. The measures taken by Member States should apply to a given GMO or, as the case may be, to a group of GMOs with similar characteristics, rather than to all GMOs. These measures should always be substantiated according to the ‘scientific method’ and justified by any cases of cross-border contamination."@en1
