"This report tackles a problem for which no coherent solution has been found to date, and whose persistence constitutes a cause for serious concern: the general and continuous weakening of colonies of bees, and the decline of populations of natural pollinators. While it is true that some of the individual proposals included in the report could be important, especially in the short term, we do not believe its approach and underlying philosophy to be the most suitable. In particular, the report does not touch on the fundamental issue, which cannot be separated from this problem, which concerns the need to change current productive models and the policies – like the common agricultural policy – that support them.
That is why we voted for the alternative resolution which, unfortunately, did not end up being adopted. This resolution makes an important criticism of intensive farming models based on high incorporation of pesticides, and proposes alternative modes of production that are sustainable, and that respect and promote biodiversity, with specific proposals on how to achieve these. Nevertheless, it is not free of contradictions, particularly as regards genetically modified organisms and the clear reversal of the precautionary principle, since the moratorium on cultivation should be before the studies rather than after, as is wrongly being advocated."@en1
