lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I welcome the opportunity to speak in favour of this GM objection that I co-authored. It is simply not acceptable that the Commission announced on Friday that it plans to authorise a GM product just days after the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety voted in Parliament to ban it. Juncker has betrayed his pre-election promise to democratise the authorisation procedure, and whilst the Commission also readily accepts that serious flaws exist in this current process, neither seems to be too concerned, given their obvious willingness to continue authorising GMOs. The European Parliament roundly rejected their GM food and feed proposal earlier this year because it was not fit for purpose. But, crucially, it asked them to come forward with a new and improved one, not to carry on regardless. Until the Commission starts to listen to concerned citizens and MEPs and comes forward with a serious proposal which addresses their worries, the authorisation procedure should be halted. It is farcical that this has not been done to date."@en1
