Due to the absence of tough and integrated legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), legislation capable of safeguarding consumers and the industry alike, EU procedures for awarding marketing authorisations have been suspended for the last three years. I applaud the legislation that we have today adopted on the traceability and labelling of GMOs, since it allows those GMOs on the market, as well as food and feed produced from GMOs, to be registered and their movements monitored. This gives consumers the right to choose, and the procedure for withdrawing a product, should that be considered necessary, has been made easier. The proposal for a directive does contain provisions, however, that could pave the way for falsification, for misleading the consumer and for distortion of competition. The rules should be clear and simple. For these reasons, I voted for the proposals for amendments geared towards the following: increasing detectability; ensuring coexistence between GMO crops and GMO-free crops; applying traceability and any subsequent labelling only to GMOs and products in which genetically modified DNA or proteins have been detected, rather than to all products."@en1
