lpv:spoken text	". With our vote today, we are trying to give people the right to make a genuine choice about GM products. We have listened to the concerns of people calling for the right to make an informed choice about GM food and we are trying to put in place a labelling and information scheme which makes that choice a reality. But we have to work within the boundaries of what is scientifically provable and in practical terms possible to implement. We live in an imperfect world and the use of thresholds reflects that reality. In all labelling regimes there is a cut-off point born of the practical and scientific reality that it's the best we can do with the science we've got. Organic regulations allow for the presence of up to 5% non-organic ingredients. Whilst we don't label very low levels of residues of pesticides or chemical contaminates in foodstuffs, we know they are present. We welcome co-existence rules, which, by allowing GM crops to be grown alongside conventional crops, are another step towards making real consumer choice a reality."@en1
