"The gravity of the situation facing Europe’s beekeeping sector and the need to support it through concrete measures are the reasons why I voted in favour of the alternative proposal by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance. I supported that proposal for a number of reasons: 1) it calls on the Commission to increase the level of support for research on honeybee health under the next financial framework and to focus research on disease prevention and control in particular; 2) it seeks to promote the setting up of appropriate national surveillance systems in close cooperation with beekeepers’ associations and to develop standards at EU level to allow comparison; 3) it calls for a timetable to be established, leading, in the long term, to the definitive withdrawal from the market of neurotoxic pesticides; 4) it invites the Commission to improve risk assessment methodology for pesticides and strongly supports prudent EU legislation as regards genetically modified organisms (GMOs), calling for a moratorium on the cultivation of GM crops until independent studies show that there are no negative effects on honeybees’ health. Indeed, the other proposals carefully avoided this issue."@en1
