"I welcome Mrs Lepage’s report. She has been able to define specific criteria for opting out. The report successfully improves legal certainty and eliminates the risk of legal disputes. It does not alter the centralised European Food Safety Agency authorisation process in any way, but does recognise that Member States are entitled to carry out additional national assessments or add to the programme of risk management measures.
Although the report does not seek to decide whether Europe should be for or against the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), I would nonetheless like to emphasise that we cannot oppose research into and development of new technologies. I am pleased, therefore, to note that the report includes the possibility of providing the financial resources necessary for scientific research. The Union’s credibility in terms of research and development depends on this, as does European companies’ competitiveness on the world stage, with 64 million hectares of GMO crops in the United States and 21 million hectares in India and Canada."@en1
