Production and making available on the market of plant reproductive material (plant reproductive material law) (debate)
Kriton Arsenis (S&D). - Mr President, since the Commissioner took over, we have had watered-down legislation on tobacco with no plain packaging; a proposal for honey with no labelling of the GM pollen it contains, against the decision of the European Court of Justice; approval for the cultivation of GM corn; and now we have a decision that – for the first time in this Parliament – has been rejected by all the political groups and all the committees with a huge majority – almost unanimity.
Something is wrong. I call on the Commissioner to take the message on board and to understand that this type of proposal cannot be accepted. If the plenary rejects his proposal tomorrow, I call on him to resign, because there is constantly something wrong with the proposals he brings to this Parliament.
