"I welcomed this document, because this proposal is made against the backdrop of persistent opposition in European society to the release of GMOs and their use in agriculture. According to the latest Eurobarometer survey on this issue published in October 2010, 61% of Europeans consider that GM food makes them feel uneasy, and the same proportion disagree with the idea that the development of GM food should be encouraged. Only 21% agree (as opposed to the 58% who disagree) with the statement that GM food is safe for future generations. In no country was there a majority of respondents who agreed with the statement that GM food is good for the national economy. Furthermore, there is still insufficient information and reliable scientific evidence for us to state that genetically modified products and foods derived from them do not pose any danger to our environment or human health."@en1
