Commissioner Brittan said that the Commission could accept Amendments Nos 5, 6, 17, 19, 25, 32 and 36. It could also partially accept Amendments Nos 8, 12, 13 and 14 and Amendments Nos 2, 18, 20, 21, 28, 33, 34 and 35 which, however, should be reworded. With particular regard to Amendment No 13, the Commission could accept a comitology procedure (2a) which was more flexible than that proposed by the Commission (3b). On the other hand, the Commission could not accept 17 amendments, particularly No 1 which proposed changing the legal basis from Article 130s to Article 100a. The scope of the directive in question did not impact on the functioning of the single market. As for Amendments Nos 4 and 9 on liability, the Commission preferred to deal with this problem in a horizontal manner to avoid any kind of fragmentation. Likewise, Amendment No 11 had to be rejected because technical amendments to Annex III needed to be made rapidly and flexibly without recourse to the ordinary legislative procedure. Finally, the Commissioner rejected Amendments Nos 3, 7, 10, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29 and 30 to ensure consistency with the proposal as a whole and for technical reasons, namely the need to ensure that the burden of control measures was not increased.

Details

Having stressed that codecision should be applied to all issues relating to health, the rapporteur pointed out that the organisms in question (GMOs) were one of the most important tools in biotechnology. However, he stressed the need for work with these GMOs to take place in areas appropriately designed to cope with every kind of risk, in order to ensure human safety. The rapporteur also considered that the former definition of microorganism was more appropriate than that currently proposed by the Commission. He also said that not all projects in category 2 could be regarded as risk-free. Commissioner Bjerregaard emphasised the highly technical nature of the area in question which was in a process of very rapid development and could have considerable implications for employment in the EU. She then explained that the amendments made to the directive mainly concerned the administrative procedures in relation to the precautions to be taken when handling GMOs, in order to simplify the procedures without increasing the risks. As regards the amendments tabled, the Commissioner said that Amendments Nos 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 19, 31, 41, 42, 49 and 56 could be accepted. Amendments Nos 4, 11, 27, 30, 35, 37, 38, 39, 43, 47, 48, 54 and 55 could be partially accepted and Amendments Nos 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 21-25, 64 and 68 could be accepted in principle.

However, he stressed the need for work with these GMOs to take place in areas appropriately designed to cope with every kind of risk, in order to ensure human safety. The rapporteur also considered that the former definition of microorganism was more appropriate than that currently proposed by the Commission. He also said that not all projects in category 2 could be regarded as risk-free. Commissioner Bjerregaard emphasised the highly technical nature of the area in question which was in a process of very rapid development and could have considerable implications for employment in the EU. She then explained that the amendments made to the directive mainly concerned the administrative procedures in relation to the precautions to be taken when handling GMOs, in order to simplify the procedures without increasing the risks. As regards the amendments tabled, the Commissioner said that Amendments Nos 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 19, 31, 41, 42, 49 and 56 could be accepted. Amendments Nos 4, 11, 27, 30, 35, 37, 38, 39, 43, 47, 48, 54 and 55 could be partially accepted and Amendments Nos 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 21-25, 64 and 68 could be accepted in principle.

It could also partially accept Amendments Nos 8, 12, 13 and 14 and Amendments Nos 2, 18, 20, 21, 28, 33, 34 and 35 which, however, should be reworded. With particular regard to Amendment No 13, the Commission could accept a comitology procedure (2a) which was more flexible than that proposed by the Commission (3b). On the other hand, the Commission could not accept 17 amendments, particularly No 1 which proposed changing the legal basis from Article 130s to Article 100a. The scope of the directive in question did not impact on the functioning of the single market. As for Amendments Nos 4 and 9 on liability, the Commission preferred to deal with this problem in a horizontal manner to avoid any kind of fragmentation. Likewise, Amendment No 11 had to be rejected because technical amendments to Annex III needed to be made rapidly and flexibly without recourse to the ordinary legislative procedure. Finally, the Commissioner rejected Amendments Nos 3, 7, 10, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29 and 30 to ensure consistency with the proposal as a whole and for technical reasons, namely the need to ensure that the burden of control measures was not increased.
