"EU Member States should have the flexibility to ban or restrict the cultivation of genetically modified crops and should be able to cite environmental motives for doing so. The Commission had proposed to grant EU Member States the right to ban crops on all but health or environmental grounds, which were to be solely assessed by the European Food Safety Authority. However, Parliament, committed to ensuring a firmer legal basis in the context of international trade rules, insisted that Member States should not be prevented from stating additional environmental grounds. These could include pesticide resistance, biodiversity preservation or a lack of data on potential negative consequences on the environment, as well as socio-economic impacts in cases where contamination risks to conventional or organic agriculture cannot practicably be managed."@en1
