". We have voted in favour of this report because of the improvements it makes to the Council’s initial proposal. It is important for example, that the citizens’ fundamental right to free choice in the field of GMOs is recognised and that account is taken of the precautionary principle, in addition to the need to protect the environment and human health. Equally important is the recognition of the need to support the implementation of Article 27 of the Protocol, at the first session of Conference of the Parties, establishing a framework for the development of an internationally acceptable system in the field of civil responsibility and of compensation for losses and damage caused by GMOs, and to incorporate specific precautions into every aspect of producing foods for human and animal consumption. Nevertheless, the report does not mention vital issues such as the problem of the EU’s dependence on plant protein imports, given the risks inherent in GMOs. It should also be noted that the Council wishes to lift the existing moratorium, an action with which we disagree, as was stated during the vote on the previous report."@en1
