Ladies and Gentlemen,
Honourable Members of the European Parliament,
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to welcome you today to this debate on the risk assessment and risk management of GMOs.
Our objective is to bring everybody concerned to the same table – Members of the European Parliament, NGOs, industry, scientists, policy makers, from one standpoint to the opposite – to debate openly. We want to listen to your questions or concerns.
My intention is to take duly into consideration the outcome of today’s debate towards better, more informed, decision-making.
Why do we need a debate?
