lpv:translated text	"The cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) regularly arouses passions, unfortunately sometimes without sufficient appeal to reason. I used my vote to call for decisions on the authorisation or prohibition of GMO cultivation to continue, as far as possible, to be taken at European level, so that the single market does not fall apart and so that we do not create distortions of competition among European farmers. If the growing of a particular GMO is bad for Sweden, it is also bad for France. I therefore think it is essential to strengthen the role of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in order to ensure optimal food safety and environmental safety throughout the continent. I recognise, however, that certain criteria, such as public policy, which is recognised within the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and is thus legally applicable, must be able to be used by the Member States to restrict or prohibit, on a case-by-case basis, the cultivation of certain GMOs which pose particular difficulties in certain Member States."@en1
