"The European Parliament has just taken a great step forward in responding to the wishes of European citizens, who are concerned about the impact of the presence of GMOs in their food. By voting for Mrs Scheele’s report, Parliament has clearly stated its demand for the labelling of all products containing GMOs, including products such as chocolate, for example. The Greens regret, however, that, although animal feed will be labelled, the final product, the meat, will not. That is the only blemish in this report. Although farmers can choose non-GM feed for their livestock, consumers will be unable to determine whether or not their meat comes from GM-fed animals. It is regrettable that Parliament did not follow this legislation to its logical conclusion. Nevertheless, the Greens welcome this move by the European Parliament towards greater comprehensibility, which will enable consumers to choose freely between products that contain GMOs and those that do not."@en1
