"I would stress that no GMOs have been approved under this directive; it applies only to additives. I would also say in relation to the questions surrounding labelling that this is a complex issue. It is being addressed and will be addressed in a comprehensive way, particularly in Directive 90/220. This issue is before Parliament at the moment and there will be other directives dealing it, which will also come under the legal base of Article 152 which gives Parliament full competence in the areas of codecision.
I would assure Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf that it is by no means my intention or wish to have any clash or test of strength with Parliament on this issue. It is my intention, as it has always been, to work in cooperation with Parliament, to ensure that the results we achieve are the very best results. The best way of dealing with this issue is through the draft legislation before Parliament at the moment, as well as the legislation in the pipeline, rather than in this technical document and in circumstances where the questions that are set out and to be debated in Directive 90/220 may not be fully taken into account. It is best to wait for that debate which, I understand, will take place fairly soon. All of these matters will be addressed in that legislation."@en1
