"Mr President, I will not add to the colourful contribution of the last speaker about compost heaps and all sorts of things, but I think this debate has been useful because there is unity of purpose in the Chamber. Commissioner, I would add my voice on a different level.
My concern is that it is a massive proposal. We are coming to the end of our legislature, and there is a danger of rushed legislation. I do not take it as a criticism of you (as others are suggesting) that you have come forward with it. I would rather you saw the value of a second look at this proposal. Some of the issues raised by colleagues are – I was going to say pedantic – but occasionally they come up with the fact that this is about endangering small farmers; it is about big business; it is about monoculture. It seems to me that there is one underlying issue here, which we all have a concern about, and that is the control of a very small number of players in the seed industry. Perhaps we need another Commissioner to look at that issue from a competition point of view."@en1
