"Mr President, I was very pleased to have an opportunity to support this report. There are a significant number of very important issues here, but I shall just deal briefly with three.
First of all, we must ensure the sustainable management of water and it must always remain a public good. I fully support the call to ensure that the right to water and sanitation is globally achieved.
I am also fully supportive of the call to ensure secure access to seeds for all segments of the population and I think regardless of your views on GMOs – and mine are pretty clear, I voted on paragraph 48 – I believe everybody should support secure access to seeds.
Finally, I would like to mention paragraphs 59 and 60 where we overwhelmingly, about 98%, expressed our concern regarding the forest code that will exacerbate deforestation in the Amazonian forest. As we do this, our Commissioner, Mr De Gucht, is still pushing ahead for a Mercosur deal including the implications of the significant amounts of beef imported into the EU and the deforestation of the Amazon will simply exacerbate that problem.
So, one arm of the European institutions is expressing one view and the other arm is completely ignoring it."@en1
