Traceability is the basic principle on which the protection of consumers and respect for their freedom of choice in the face of GMOs must be based.
Such traceability depends upon introducing systems for identifying GMOs, that is to say procedures guaranteeing the ability to know, at every link in the production and marketing chain, where they have come from and who has put them on the market.
Companies are also obliged to indicate if a product has been obtained on the basis of GMOs, as well as to retain this information relating to their identity and traceability and to make it available to the competent authorities.
With regard to the presence of authorised GMOs, we are in favour of the most demanding thresholds, given that the rate used must be realistic, that is to say based upon measurable, technical criteria. This requirement will have to be kept constantly up to date as methods of detection and analysis become more refined.
Finally, it must be ensured that operators who choose not to use GMOs can derive a commercial advantage from their choice."@en1
