"In my work both as Latvia’s Minister of the Environment and as Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the I always supported the position that Latvia should be a nation free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This is an issue that most directly affects the health of every individual, while research on the effects of GMOs on human health is incomplete. Therefore, in my view their use should be restricted to the maximum extent, because if the use of GMOs is to be allowed, say, as seed material, there will be no turning back – the soil will be contaminated. Precisely for this reason, I have today supported Mrs Lepage’s report, which enables European Union Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of genetically modified organisms on their territory, and I voted for the amendments that support the interests of European and Latvian residents and the position adopted by Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth in Latvia."@en1
