lpv:spoken text	"I have supported this motion of objection pursuant to Rule 106 regarding the renewal of the approval of the active substance glyphosate, just as my Socialist colleagues did when they voted in the ENVI Committee. The Labour Party in the European Parliament holds the position that Genetically Modified Organisms – GMOs – must be approached with caution and assessed from the point of view of their impacts on human health and the environment. This position has informed a number of recent plenary votes when I and other Labour Party MEPs opposed the authorisation of other strains of GMOs; this is, inter alia, because of their links with glyphosate.. Although not binding, I hope that the vote today will send a message to the Commission and have them either reconsider their position, or disclose the scientific evidence that has been the basis for the positive classification of this chemical, a matter which I have brought up with them in a recent parliamentary question."@en1
