"After the refusal to grant discharge for the budget of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in the spring, today I voted for the Macovei report, which, in light of the Court of Auditors’ report and the measures that have been taken (or are in the process of being adopted) to prevent conflicts of interest and strengthen the Agency’s independence, decided to grant discharge. Some problems remain, however, and we saw that again recently in the study by Professor Seralini (study calling into question the harmless nature of genetically modified organisms (GMO)), which is currently being examined by the EFSA experts, the very same experts who have always authorised GMOs… The battle for independent agencies, providing scientific expertise without being influenced by industrial and/or private interests, is still very relevant. I am therefore under no illusions when I vote in favour of discharge."@en1
