lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the report we are about to vote on today represents a balanced compromise that takes both the science and the views of the public into account. It provides for a strengthened environmental impact assessment on new GMOs. Furthermore, it requires Member States which choose to cultivate GMOs to introduce co-existence measures for border areas. This should be good news for the fast-growing, environmentally-friendly and job-creating sector of organic agriculture, which cannot afford contamination with GM crops. It strikes the Labour Party that the British Conservatives are opposed to the proposed exclusion of biotech companies from the decision-making process. This only shows once again that the Tories remain in the hands of big business lobbyists and have little regard for the views of the general public, little regard for the consumer and little regard for common sense."@en1
