".
The European Commission has proposed to grant Member States the right to ban genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on any grounds, except for grounds relating to health or the environment, which had to be exclusively assessed by the European Food Safety Authority. Having committed itself to guaranteeing a firmer legal basis in the context of international trade rules, Parliament insisted that the Member States should be able to provide supplementary environmental grounds. I think that all the Member States must take measures to prevent the contamination of GMOs in conventional or organic farming and to ensure that those behind such incidents are held responsible financially.
That is why I voted for this report, which I think is a balanced one. If the Council manages to find a common position, it will permit Member States and regions not to cultivate GMOs if they do not wish to do so."@en1
