"Madam President, the frantic lobbying by the seed companies in order to convince Members to reject the amendments adopted by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy was enough to make us vote in favour of those amendments, despite the limitations of the texts concerned. We are in favour of maximum traceability and labelling for GMOs intended for human and animal consumption, so that consumers can make judgments and choices. It is not genetic modification itself that causes problems, nor is it the research carried out for this purpose. What causes problems is the fact that the use of these products is entirely in the hands of the agrifood giants, in whom society can have no confidence at all, because they are not researching genetic modification in the interests of human beings or society, but on the basis of what profits they can make from it. I shall also take this opportunity to protest about the imprisonment, in France, of José Bové. At least José Bové has the merit of having fuelled suspicion with regard to the use that can be made of GMOs. He has been condemned because of his opinions and because of his militant activities. He must be released."@en1
