". Although the analysis of the Commission proposal carried out by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy led to only one amendment, the proposal is of enormous importance in the field of plant genetics. This subject, which has been under discussion for a long time, was covered by the 2001 International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The purpose of this proposal for a Council decision is thus to ratify, on behalf of the Community, the aforementioned International Treaty. The importance of adopting the report is reflected in the fact that 33 countries out of the 40 signatories have already ratified the International Treaty, which covers 35 food crops and 29 forages and establishes a legally binding framework for the sustainable conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Another clear indication of the report’s importance is that it won the unanimous vote of the specialised parliamentary committee. The intended aim is to allow access to these resources for all contracting parties, sharing the commercial and other benefits accruing from this access. I voted in favour."@en1
