lpv:translated text	"By adopting the report by Mrs Lepage on measures to prohibit the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in a Member State’s territory, Parliament has today rectified a mistake made by the European Commission. The initial proposal, which was presented in July 2010, did not allow Member States to cite environmental reasons or socio-economic considerations to justify national measures. However, Members of the European Parliament have given the 27 national governments greater flexibility to decide whether they wish to allow GMOs to be grown in their territory. The fact is that GMOs remain a divisive issue within the European Union. The consequences are clear: the number of genetically modified crops in Europe continues to decline, falling 23% between 2008 and 2010. This is yet another reason why we need to extend the EU system for authorising GMO crops. Let us not forget that if citizens are to regain confidence, we need to impose effective criteria that reflect their environmental concerns. We need to address the concerns of those farmers who have opted for conventional or organic farming and are worried about the risk of their fields being contaminated by genetically modified plant varieties."@en1
