"Mr President, the members of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety on many occasions do disagree, but on this occasion they are agreed on what is actually happening, and I must say that I support the rejection of the proposed plant reproductive material. But we could ask the Commission to give real consideration to the many amendments tabled in both committees, should they present a new proposal.
As many of my constituents have made very clear, we should not allow the EU to prescribe what we can or cannot grow in our own gardens. Heritage varieties are an integral part of the rich countryside, and our constituents do not need to be inhibited in how they plant their gardens. The recent proposal threatens to effectively close down the ornamental market to new plant varieties under already restrictive registration requirements. If we are serious about promoting innovation and biodiversity in the EU, I find such measures very strange indeed.
This proposal is universally disliked..."@en1
