The debate has been extensive and wide-ranging, with different positions that have often been difficult to reconcile.
I voted for the work by the rapporteur because it took into due consideration the concerns about the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) expressed by Member States. In particular, I believe it is important that the possibility for the Member States to prohibit or restrict the cultivation of GMOs in their territory should remain. Each Member State will be able to introduce specific bans going beyond considerations relating to human health protection and the environment or the effective functioning of the internal market, which are already guaranteed to the highest level on a European basis.
The need for more consistent legislation balanced between the European GMO authorisation system and requests from Member States when independently deciding how to transpose the legislation has led to some difficulties in achieving a common position. The principle of subsidiarity remains in place, in the event that a Member State should decide to apply legislation that is stricter than the European standards.
It is vital that research on GMOs should not be stopped. The
is that maximum transparency must be guaranteed in the information provided to consumers, through the traceability of genetically modified (GM) products."@en1
