lpv:spoken text	". Then I am quite sure we received the same emails. Therefore, today is a great opportunity for me to clarify some of the misunderstandings. I believe the most essential step was that we were able to agree in the Council in November 2002 on the traceability and labelling of GMOs. That was crucial. The final outcome might not have satisfied everybody, but it was important that products that are produced directly from a GM product – for example, tomato ketchup produced directly from GM tomatoes – must be labelled. Therefore, consumers can actually choose whether they want to buy those products. Farmers can now avoid, for example, soybeans that have been produced by GM methods and buy the conventional type of feed for their animals. That was a major achievement. The WTO dispute we had with the United States does not change anything."@en1
