Tilbage står, at en stor del af disse henstillinger er vanskelige at følge under de nuværende forhold.
In particular, with reference to Amendment No 12,1 would like, as a former colleague, to draw your attention to the paradoxical con sequences which would result from acceptance of the amendment as presently worded.
Jeg siger dette ærligt for ikke at skabe illusioner, og jeg siger det
Forgive my frankness, but to accept a situation where the legal remedies provided by this directive would apply - and I quote the amendment - 'in so far as the legal system of the Member State
Hvad angår ændringsforslagene 6, 19 og 25, der angår forbrugerne på europæisk plan, forekommer det mig, at der herved ville blive indført en forpligtelse, der ikke stemmer overens med proportionalitetsprincippet, i det foreliggende tilfælde betragtningerne til dette direktiv.
My starting point is the action plan on consumer access, which was adopted in February last year. It seems to me that there is one point I should add to Mr Florio's excellent report: basically, I am trying to clarify a fundamental but uncomfortable truth.
Yderligere ville en vedtagelse af disse ændringsforslag give anledning til alvorüge fortolkningsproblemer, da der ikke findes nogen definition på organisationer, der er etableret på europæisk område, et lidt vagt udtryk.
That fundamental truth is that although it is important to adopt good laws, it is not enough unless the citizens can make use of those laws.
Jeg beder kollegerne om blot at slå op på de gule side i telefonbogen for Bruxelles og kan kort sige, at mine tjenestegrene har fundet 600 europæiske forbrugerorganisationer.· Jeg er derfor af den opfattelse, at den vage definition ikke er os til hjælp i denne retning.
This may be a truism, but the fact remains that when the time comes for the laws to be applied, the harsh realities come to the surface and all the problems arise.

Graenitz (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, omsorgs- og fore byggelsesprincipperne for Fællesskabets miljø og for vores unionsborgeres sundhed er traktatfæstet.
Breyer (V). - (DE) Mr President, first of all, a genetically modified foodstuff (Monsanto's GMO soya beans) has been authorized for human consumption without any special labelling!
Derfor er det også bestemt, at der skal foretages undersøgelser, før genetisk modificerede organismer, levnedsmidler og planter sendes på markedet.
Consumers are being deprived of their right to decide, and in addition to this, the Commission's constant invoking of the principle of transparency is just empty words.
Vi må nemlig spørge os selv - og her tilslutter jeg mig fru Breyer - hvad genetisk modificerede planter, organismer og frø medfører for de små europæiske områder?
It is quite right that this business should have caused a storm of indignation among consumer organizations and environmental organizations.
Hvilken indflydelse har de egentlig på ligevægten og den biologiske mangfoldighed?
The existing loopholes in controls and security, not only in the case of soya beans but also in the case of future applications to place GMO foodstuffs on the market, are disastrous and scandalous.
Og det allervigtigste spørgsmål: Hvad betyder det så for de vilde dyr, hvad betyder det så for planterne på vores kontinent, hvis der udvikles krydsninger?
For example, it is now known that when these genetically modified soya beans were being bred, the new active substance was not tested at all. Studies showing that glysophate produces substances similar to oestrogen were disregarded, as was the allergy risk.
Vil vi så få planter, der som en kampvogn overfalder de andre, fordi de jö er resistente over for herbicider.
This afternoon, Mrs Bjerregaard said that a ban on imports is possible if new information becomes available.
Jeg skal i den forbindelse sige, at en plantes resistens over for herbicide/ for mig er en perversion.
Let me add just a few words addressed to Mrs Kuhn, who raised two specific problems.
Hvis jeg overhælder en plante med plantebeskyttelsesmidler og dermed opnår, at alle andre planter dør, så er det garanteret ikke den rette vej til en bæredygtig udvikling af vores landbrug og vores miljø.
First, the Commission be lieves that the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs was right in saying that, on the basis of European Court of Justice case law - the Frankovic judgement -failure to transpose a directive or delay in doing so can be grounds for complaint against the defaulting Member State: that State can then be required to compensate individuals for damage suffered because of such failure or delay. This is a procedure which can and must be followed.
Breyer (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, med den gensplejsede sojabønne fra Monsanto blev et genetisk modificeret levnedsmiddel til menneskeføde tilladt for første gang, uden nogen form for mærkning!
Hence our question: what are you going to do in the light of large amount of new information that is now available? Will you use these studies as grounds for introducing an import ban?
Forbrugerne umyndiggøres, og den ellers af Kommissionen altid påberåbte gennemskuelighed bliver til tomme ord.
How will you respond to the urgent desire on the part of consumers and the wholesale and retail trade to see these foodstuffs stored separately and given special labels?
Med rette har denne frem gangsmåde udløst en storm af forargelse hos forbruger- og miljøorganisationer.
In answer to a written question, you have admitted that you have absolutely no idea, and will first of all have to assess the risks, for example the risk that genetically modified maize might be being imported illegally into the European Union.
Men det er ikke kun en borgers ret til selv at bestemme, der trædes under fode, men også sundhedsbeskyttelsen!
Genetically modified soya beans are only allowed to be imported for further processing, yet there have been numerous cases of feedback from the inspection authorities of Member States which show that these inspections are just not taking place!
De nuværende huller i kontrollen og
This means that these restrictions are not being policed.
Ifølge direktiv 90/220 skal virkningerne på menneskers sundhed undersøges ved langtidsstudier.
Regarding the compensation aspects, the Commission has at present proposed these in the context of the action plan and not of the directive.
Jeg spørger mig, hvor disse långtidsstudier er blevet af for den nu tilladte gensplejsede soja, hvor studierne er henne, som skal forske i, hvad det betyder, at mennesker over længere tid spiser gensplejsede produkter, og om det har nogen konsekvenser,
If these specific questions remain unanswered, then we shall ask you to prohibit the marketing of genetically modified foodstuffs until the risks have been removed and the appropriate controls have been put in place. Preventive measures to protect health must be given priority over
Jeg er fuldstændig enig med fru kommissær Bonino i, at det ikke drejer sig om at beskytte forbrugerne på en måde, som var de inkapable, men at det drejer sig om at sørge for information, der skaber klarhed og åbenhed.
It is always a problem for those who take part in the last debate, but the Conference of Presidents in their wisdom have given me 30 minutes for this debate and 37 and a half minutes of speaking time. I cannot fit everybody in if we carry on taking extra time.
Jeg vil her også komme ind på et andet punkt.
without some dangers.
På grundlag af en lovgivning, som blev påbegyndt af daværende vice-. præsident Quayle, tillod man i USA på et tidspunkt forenklinger i undersøgelsesproceduren for genetisk modificerede produkter og levnedsmidler.
Those dangers must be contained by policy, or at least a case-by-case assessment is needed of the kind now being conducted over soya beans.
Jeg kunne tænke mig at vide, om Monsantos gensplejsede soja eventuelt er fra denne periode, og om de pågældende undersøgelser virke lig svarer til dem, der skal foretages i henhold til vores direktiv 90/220.
In the specific case of soya beans all manner of independent bodies have ruled that soya beans can safely be processed and consumed without danger to humans and the environment, and the pesticide to which they have been made resistant is less damaging to the environment than the agents currently used in processing soya.
Jeg har den opfattelse, at det også her er nødvendigt at fortælle offentligheden, hvad det her drejer sig om.
But nevertheless it is a worrying development to see the chemical industry so deeply involved in biotechnology.
Jeg tror, det er ubetinget nødvendigt at adskille gensplejsede produkter fra de traditionelle, da fortalerne for det frie marked ellers umuliggør det frie valg for forbrugerne. gerne.
If crops are made resistant to pesticides it could push up consumption of them enormously, whilst resistance to diseases and pests would benefit the environment, so we are warning Mon santo, for example, because if they misuse the situation as it has developed, the European ParUament will immediately take action.
Heinisch (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, i forbindelse med dette kompleks af spørgsmål vil jeg som apoteker tage stilling til den ofte nævnte beskyttelse af menneskers sundhed.
Graenitz (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, the principles of precaution and prevention regarding the environment in the European Union and the health of our citizens are enshrined in the Treaty.
Monsantos gensplejsede sojabønne blev tilladt i henhold til direktiv 90/220 om udsætning i miljøet af genetisk modificerede organismer.
This means that it is also enshrined in the Treaty that before genetically modified organisms, foodstuffs and plants can be placed on the market, tests have to be carried out.
Formålet med dette direktiv er at beskytte menneskers sundhed og miljø ved hjælp af strenge godkendelsesprocedurer og studier af miljøets bæreevne.
So we must ask ourselves - and here I agree with Mrs Breyer - what geneticaUy modified plants, organisms and seeds actually mean in the timited amount of space that we have here in Europe.
Inden for den sundhedsmæssige evaluering, direktivet foreskriver, bliver det særlig undersøgt om disse produkter har allergifremkaldende egenskaber.
What influence do they have on the balance of nature and on biological diversity?
De videnskabelige undersøgelser af sojabønnen har vist at dette produkt ikke rummer fare for menneskers sundhed eller miljøet og ikke i højere grad fremkalder allergiske reaktioner sammenlignet med den konventionelle soja bønne.
And the most important question is what wiU it mean for wild species and for the plants of our continent if crosses occur, or are capable of occurring.
Det problem med allergireaktion, der tit omtales i denne forbindelse, vedrører forsøg med en anden sojabønneart hvori man indarbejdede et paranødprotein.
Are we going to have plants that wUl rampage like tanks over aU the other plants, because they are herbicideresistant?
Mange mennesker reagerer som bekendt allergisk på paranødproteinet og det var også tilfældet ved forsøgene med den modificerede sojabønne. Disse forsøg blev derfor afbrudt, og denne type sojabønne er som produkt aldrig blevet sendt på markedet.
And here I must say that as far as I am concerned, herbicide resistance in a plant is in itself a perversion.
I ændringsforslag 51 henviser vi entydigt til genetisk modificerede organismer og ikke til genetisk modificerede stoffer, som det nu hedder i beslutningen.
For these reasons my group is in favour of labelting genetically modified foods, but only where the presence of geneticaUy modified organisms can be identified.
Ordet stoffer ville ligeledes indbefatte døde materier. Det var ikke hensigten med dette ændringsforslag. slag.
Given that the oil from transgenic soya is chemically identical to that of conventional soya, there would seem to be no point in labeUing this oil.
For det andet anser jeg det ikke for rimeligt at foregribe forhandlingerne i Forligsudvalget med en sådan beslutning.
The processor, for example UnUever, can then decide whether or not it wants to use this transgenic bean.
Hvis vi vil opnå den nødvendige befolkningstilslutning til den moderne bioteknologi, skal vi foruden saglig information også komme ind på risici. Livet er ikke risikofrit.
And if the consumer, for whatever reason, does not want this transgenic soya, or products of it, that preference must be accommodated.
Jeg finder det dog uforsvarligt at gøre folk usikre ved at indgive dem en angst, som mangler ethvert videnskabeligt grundlag.
We respect the wish of the individual consumer and that wish can be accommodated by labeUing soya beans separately.
Disse risici skal bl.a. politikerne nedbringe, i hvert fald er en vurdering af de enkelte tilfælde nødvendig, således som det nu sker i forbindelse med sojabønnerne.
I wonder where these studies are in the case of the genetically modified soya beans that have now been approved.
I dette specifikke tilfælde med sojebønnerne har alle mulige uafhængige instanser afgjort, at sojabønnerne kan dyrkes og konsumeres uden risiko for mennesker og miljø, og det bekæmpelsesmiddel, som de er gjort resistente over for, er mindre skadeligt for miljøet end de midler, som man nu bruger ved dyrkelsen af disse sojabønner.
Where are the studies to determine what wUl happen when human beings eat geneticaUy modified products over a long period of time, and whether there any knock-on effects when animals are fed with geneticaUy modified feedingstuffs, thereby modifying the food chain?
Ved at gøre afgrøder resistente over for pesticider kunne anvendelsen deraf stige enormt medens resistens over for sygdomme og plager netop kunne være en fordel for miljøet.
These questions would abo have to be resolved by means of long-term studies, and the results would have to be made public.
Vi advarer således f.eks. firmaet Monsanto, for hvis det misbruger den situation, som nu er opstået, vil vi som Parlament øjeblikkeligt gribe ind.
Here I agree absolutely with the Commissioner, Mrs Bonino," that it is not a question of protecting consumers as if they were incapable, but rather it is a question of informing them and of creating a climate of clarity and openness.
Neil Kinnock, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Hr. formand, lad mig indlede mine bemærkninger med allerførst at sige, som De selv påpegede, at denne forhandling har fået tildelt et tidsrum, som er kortere end den taletid, der er blevet tildelt de ærede medlemmer, som med rette ønsker at få ordet.
Heinisch (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentle men, as a pharmacist, I should Uke to express may opinion, in connection with these questions, on the protection of human health - something that has been mentioned frequently. The genetically modified soya bean produced by Monsanto has been approved under Directive 90/220 on the dehberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms.
Jeg forstår, at det er almindelig kutyme, at Kommissionen svarer i denne fase umiddelbart efter dem, der har stillet forespørgsler.
The aim of this directive is to protect human health and the environment, by means of strict approval procedures and environmental acceptabUity tests.
Jeg vil derfor bruge nøjagtigt fem minutter, og jeg vil ikke nå igennem de svar, jeg har her, men jeg vil derefter sætte mig igen og sende resten af svaret til de ærede medlemmer, som har stillet forespørgslerne.
Scientific tests on the soya bean have shown that this product is harmless to human health and to the environment, and that it does not cause any increased allergic reaction, compared with the traditional soya bean.
Jeg benytter også denne lejlighed til at sige, at Kommissionen ønsker at være ansvarlig, men det er kun muligt at være ansvarlig, når procedurerne tillader det.
It is a well-known fact that many people show an allergic reaction to the BrazU nut protein, and this was also the case with the tests on the soya beans that had been modified in this way.
Jeg håber derfor, at man vil se nærmere på procedurerne, således at vi kan være ansvarlige.
The tests were therefore halted, and those soya beans were never placed on the market as a product.
Miljøet og forbrugernes interesser skal stilles centralt i denne diskussion.
I should also Uke to mention another point here.
Af denne grund er min gruppe tilhænger af, at genetisk modificerede fødevarer mærkes, dog kun hvor tilstedeværelsen af genetisk modificerede organismer stadig kan bevises.
In the United States, for some time now there has been a simplified testing procedure for genetically modified products and foodstuffs, thanks to legislation introduced by the former Vice-President, Dan Quayle.
I betragtning af, at olien fra genetisk modificeret soja er kemisk identisk med olien fra konventionel soja, forekommer mærkning af denne olie meningsløs.
I would very much like to have known whether this geneticaUy modified soya produced by Monsanto might in certain circumstances faU within the relevant period of time, and whether the tests reaUy are equivalent to those that have to be undertaken in accordance with our Directive 90/220.1 am of the opinion that it is necessary to teU the pubtic what is happening here.
Den europæiske industri må dog bruge sin indflydelse på at drage omsorg for, at den genetisk modificerede soja leveres særskilt, for denne industri er en meget stor aftager og må være i stand til f.eks. at bede Amerika om at levere de genetisk modificerede sojabønner adskilt fra de almin delige sojabønner, for på denne måde kan denne uforarbejdede genetisk modificerede bønne mærkes.
I believe that it is absolutely essential to keep genetically modified products and traditional products separate, be cause otherwise the supporters of the free market wUl destroy consumer choice.
Så kan forarbejdningsvirksomheden, f.eks. Unilever, bedømme, om den vil brage denne genetisk modificerede bønne eller ej.
I should also Uke to refer to the point made in the resolutions that we are considering, with reference to the drafting of a novel-food regulation.
Og hvis forbrugerne uanset af hvilke grunde ikke ønsker at brage denne genetisk modificerede soja eller produkter fremstillet deraf, må dette respekteres.
In March of this year, Parliament accepted six amendments.
Vi har respekt for de individuelle forbrugeres ønske, og dette ønske kan opfyldes ved at mærke sojabønnerne særskilt.
In Amendment No 51 we clearly refer to genetically modified organisms, and
Medlemsstaterne er der for forpligtede til gennem passende kontrolforanstaltninger og andre foranstaltninger at sikre, at vilkårene for den godkendelse, der er udstedt til et produkt, som indeholder genetisk modificerede organismer, overholdes i overens stemmelse med direktiv 90/220.
Furthermore, Monsanto, as the notifier, voluntarily submitted an additional dossier which included a full food assessment of the processed product which covered aspects which are not examined by Directive 90/220, such as nutritional equivalents.
Pollack (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, forbrugerne er yderst bekymrede over de levnedsmidler, de præsenteres for i forretningerne.
If we want the public to accept modern biotechnology - and this is something that is essential - then in addition to providing factual information, we must talk about the risks.
Det er navnlig meget foruroligede over, at sojabønneprotein fra genetisk modificerede planter sand synligvis vil indgå i masser af produkter, de køber, uden nogen som helst mærkning.
It is not possible, in life, to eliminate risk entirely, but I believe it is irresponsible to cause people anxiety about fears that are scientifically groundless.
Direktivet foreskriver, at inden et GMO-produkt markeds føres, skal der gennemføres en vurdering af de risici, der måtte være for menneskers sundhed og miljøet.
The Commission adopted its decision on the placing on the market of the Monsanto soyabeans following a favourable opinion by the regulatory committee established by Directive 90/220.
Der er mange diskussioner om, hvorvidt disse nye genetisk modificerede levnedsmidler er ønskelige eller nødvendige eller ej.
1 understand that it is the convention that the Commission responds at this stage in the immediate wake of those who have put down questions.
Nogle af diskussionerne om etik og levnedsmiddelsikkerhed har allerede fundet sted her, da direktivet om nye levnedsmidler blev behandlet i Parlamentet.
I therefore wiU take precisely five minutes and I will not get through the answers that I have here, but I will sit down then and provide the rest of the answer through the post of Parliament to the honourable Members who have asked the questions.
Folk er alvorligt bekymrede for øjeblikket, da vi i mangel af direktivet om nye levnedsmidler - som endnu ikke er på plads - endnu ikke har et produktgodkendelsessystem, der er tilstrækkeligt i forbindelse med disse produkter.
The Commission has aheady recognized the concerns of an increasing number of consumers with regard to genetically modified foodstuffs by submitting a proposal for a regulation on novel foods.
Det er ærligt talt forbavsende, at Kommissionen har fundet det passende at godkende importen af Mosantosojabønner så hurtigt, når de undersøgelser, de har gennemgået i USA, har været minimale.
This regulation, when adopted, will cover all the aspects that are relevant to the assessment of food and foodstuffs.
Vi hører nu fra pressen, at Kommissionen vil godkende en kontroversiel sort af genetisk modificeret majs, som er udviklet af Ciba Geigy, formentlig for at afbøde en potentiel transatlantisk handelskrig.
1 also take this opportunity to say that the Commission wants to be accountable, but it is only possible to be accountable when the procedures allow it. I hope, there fore, that there wUl be some further attention to procedures so that we can be accountable.
Det skal derfor understreges, at vurderingen af de mulige indvirkninger på menneskers sundhed, som blev gennemført i henhold til direktivet, tog hensyn til, at sojabønnerne ville blive forarbejdet til produkter, som efterhånden ville indgå i fødekæden.
In answer to the questions, according to Article 4 of Directive 90/220, Member States are responsible for ensuring that the competent authority organizes inspections and other control measures as appropriate to ensure com pliance with that directive.
Endvidere indsendte Monsanto i sin egenskab af anmelder frivilligt et supplerede dossier, som indeholdt en omfattende levnedsmiddelvurdering af det forarbejdede produkt, som omfattede aspekter, der ikke undersøges som led i direktiv 90/220, f.eks. ernæringsækvivalenter.
Consequently, it is the obliga tion of Member States to ensure, through appropriate controls or other measures, that there is adherence to the conditions of the consent granted for a genetically modified organism product in accordance with Directive 90/220.
Har vi ikke set nok skader forårsaget af pesticider? Er der ingen i Kommissionen, der har læst Rachel Carsons The Silent Spring! Hvorfor dette hastværk?
PoUack (PSE). - Mr President, consumers are extremely anxious about the food that they are being presented with in the shops.
Jeg gør opmærksom på de forespørgsler, PSE-Gruppen har stillet, og jeg håber, at Kommissionen hai' nogle reeue svar.
There are many arguments about whether or not these new genetically modified foods are desirable or necessary.
