I appreciate the work carried out by Mrs Lepage, and I believe it is essential for Member States to increase the controls on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the potential environmental impact of such products on the various national ecosystems.
However, the Commission must be required to perform such monitoring, which cannot be left to the individual national authorities. We cannot allow genetically modified (GM) products such as Mon 810 maize to be imported or authorised only in some Member States, and then find they are part of our diet. I therefore call for greater coordination between European and national institutions in order to identify the long-term environmental impact of genetically modified crops, crops that are neighbouring or present in nearby land, and in particular the impact on human health of direct consumption and on animal health of the use of feed made from the products of such crops.
We therefore call for greater commitment on the part of all of the institutions, so that guaranteed and accurate assessments are carried out before any genetically modified products can be authorised."@en1
