Organic production and labelling of organic products (vote)
Marie-Hélène Aubert (Verts/ALE), rapporteur. – (FR) Mr President, on the basis of Rule 53 of the Rules of Procedure, I would ask that the report be referred back to the committee.
Indeed, Amendment 1, which requests a double legal basis - that is to say, Articles 37 and 95 – had extremely broad support in this House, being adopted by 585 votes. Now, the Commissioner replied yesterday that she did not accept this amendment. I therefore think that we must go further in negotiations with the Commission, while retaining the report - which, I am very pleased to say, is constructive - in its present form. We must go further, however, and I therefore ask that the report be referred back to the committee.
