lpv:translated text	"Thank you very much, Minister, for your answer. The question was as follows: there have been cases where this directive has been breached and GMOs have been released into the environment. I gave examples in my question. You are placing me in a very difficult position. It is the task of the Commission to ensure that the directive is adhered to. It has probably not done so or has done so inefficiently, I do not know. It is the task of Member States to implement the directive, transposing it into their national legislation. In the case in question, the Member State has not done so. I should like to think this was an oversight. In Greece, we have been told, in the case of modified cotton, that it would be exported. The Commission’s answer to a question similar to the one I have asked was that farmers were to be compensated and that the genetically modified cotton was to be exported. Will the Council be able to help me out of this difficult position? To whom should I turn for information? Is it really legal to export this type of material? I still find it hard to believe, Minister, and I should like an answer."@en1
