Ian Hudghton (Greens/EFA) I voted against the Sârbu report despite its numerous good points. Food is a fundamentally important issue and one which is going to be of increasing significance. It is essential that the EU takes a coordinated stance in relation to its agriculture sector in order to face the challenges which lie ahead. However, I do not consider that GMOs have a legitimate role to play in achieving security of food supplies and I could not support a report which proposes to give the green light to genetic modification.
