"−
I voted in favour of this report, because it is fully in line with our approach to the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
I consider that it is fundamental for Member States to have the freedom to decide whether or not to cultivate these organisms, based on the measures they deem most appropriate. There may be justifiable grounds of an environmental, socio-economic or geographical-territorial nature that can, and must, allow Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs.
I would not want the freedom to cultivate GMOs granted by the European Union in this sector to transform itself into a forced obligation and therefore not to allow the correct distinctions to be made. I do not want our territories and traditions, with their globally recognised examples of agricultural excellence, to be destroyed by the imprudent use of artificially modified substances and organisms which have nothing to do with everything nature already offers us in abundance."@en1
