"Our question was clear: what measures is the Commission taking? The Commissioner has told us about some general measures that are going to be taken. But he did not mention a single substantive, practical measure to prevent the importation of GM seeds. How are we to interpret this? Of course, we may get an expression of wishes, as today, and of good intentions. But there continues to be a lack of any practical measures to prevent imports from the United States and from third countries of genetically propagating material infected by genetically modified organisms. I take the view, Commissioner, that you should ask, for example, that cargoes are accompanied by a supporting document, a certificate from a reliable, accredited international body or laboratory to testify that the imported seed lots are free from GMOs. But you are not asking for anything like this. This is a practical measure which you could introduce immediately."@en1
