lpv:translated text	"It is a tell-tale sign that on the day of our vote on discharge for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the chair of its management board resigns, the reason being that she had accepted a post in an industrial lobby, which was not compatible with her duties at the European agency. Unfortunately, this is not the only actual, proven case of conflicts of interest at this agency. For example, certain senior managers have joined pro-GMO companies after leaving the EFSA or, conversely, now have managerial responsibilities at the EFSA after having belonged to pro-GMO lobbies. These conflicts of interest must stop. Agencies that we believe to be independent and that were set up to provide opinions and issue authorisations with complete impartiality must not come under the thumb of any interests within the industry. We have called a halt to this today by a majority in Parliament and we will await the Court of Auditors’ report in June before voting again in October on discharge for the budgets of the agencies in question."@en1
