"Mr President, first of all, I would also like to thank and commend Martin Häusling for his important report, even though I am disappointed with the final version. However, this was not down to him. That was why, like him, I abstained in the final vote in committee. Firstly, I am sorry that the content of the report has been distorted by the inclusion of the zero tolerance issue. The call to relax the rules on imports of unauthorised GMOs does not solve the problem of the EU’s protein deficit and therefore should not have been introduced at this point. Secondly, it is absolutely vital that we halt the considerable decline of protein crop production in the EU and that we reduce our already alarming dependency on imported plant proteins. I also want to challenge the Blair House agreements, the market-oriented objectives of which have contributed to extreme price volatility. Furthermore, these agreements completely contradict the Kyoto Protocol and its objectives on global warming. Lastly, in future, we need to incorporate protein crops into the crop rotation cycle as part of our prudent and responsible soil use management."@en1
