Monday, 16 February 1987

A. in view of the extensive efforts and the levels of expenditure brought to bear at Community level for the promotion of biotechnology in order to modernize agriculture and industry,

B. whereas these efforts are necessary so that agriculture and the agro-industrial sector can maintain their position and their competitiveness on the world market,

C. whereas biotechnologies, if used judiciously, can help reduce production costs and open new markets, thus improving the economic situation of farmers,

D. whereas multi-nationals are spending huge sums of money on biotechnology research, and it is important that the Community and national governments invest more in this area to avoid a situation where multinationals might gain a near monopoly of the knowledge available in this new technology,

E. whereas the commercial application of biotechnology may lead to an acceleration of ration alization of production in certain sectors of agriculture but will also lead to the development of new opportunities and new markets for farm products,

F. whereas there will continue to be a reduction in the numbers employed on the land, but new employment openings can be created through the careful application of biotechnology,

G. whereas biotechnology must be directed less towards increasing production capacity and yields than towards improving the quality of agricultural products and opening up new markets for such products, for example in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the agro-industry, etc.,

H. whereas the pursuit of such objectives (working to improve quality and seeking new markets) is likely to have a beneficial effect on employment in agriculture, as well as upstream and downstream of that sector,

I. whereas immediate thought must be given both at the Community level and at international level, particularly in the context of the new GATT negotiations, to the effects of production increases to which wrongly or inadequately directed biotechnology could give rise, such as collapsing exchange rates, the destabilization of international trade and the creation of new forms of dependence,

J. whereas traditional intensive agriculture posed many dangers to the environment, but bio technology could assist in reducing the hazards by increasing the efficiency of nitrogen fixation and resistance to diseases and pests thus helping to reduce inputs of fertilizer, fungicides, insecticides and pesticides; tests and checks should be carried out in order to avoid possible adverse side-effects; likewise it could contribute to the safe disposal of farm wastes by converting animal waste an other organic substances to methane gas to be used as energy on the farm,

K. whereas serious studies must continue into energy production from biomass, in the context of developing the prospects for decentralized coverage of energy needs,

L. whereas genetic variety in crops and livestock has decreased over the centuries, and biotech nology and gene banks can contribute to increasing and conserving genetic variety,

M. whereas the application of biotechnology, like all new technologies, entails certain risks, and therefore it is very important that there should be adequate controls, preferably harmonized on a Community-wide basis,

N. whereas the development of biotechnologies will not necessarily lead to a solution of the problems of famine in the Third World, but may on the contrary widen the gulf between rich and poor, between large-scale farms and subsistence farming, between cash crop production and the supply of basic foostuffs, No C 76/24 Official Journal of the European Communities 23.3. 87 Monday, 16 February 1987

O. whereas genetic plasma comes mainly from Third World countries,

1. Feels that, in the present context, biotechnology must promote an agricultural policy geared to quality, with high added value, rather than further increasing yields and quantities pro duced;

2. Believes that the European Community has a duty to support and encourage biotechnological research aimed at improving alternative forms of production and/or finding new ones;

3. Wishes to maintan family farming as the basis of our agriculture, the main task of which is to provide people with healthy food and to provide the agro-industries with suitable raw material for processing, without damaging the environment;

3.1 A purely biotechnological approach must be rejected and biotechnology must be integrated within already existing technologies by being made part of a wider policy designed to sustain vigorous rural life and a flourishing rural economy;

3.2 In food processing, the primary aim must be to produce food that is safe and nutritious. Genetic engineering is already contributing in this sector particularly in the production of fermented products such as cheese, yoghurts, soured milk drinks, beers, etc....;

3.3 The links between agriculture and industry, both upstream and downstream, should be strengthened with the object of supplying the consumer with competitively priced high quality food, while maintaining the viability of as many family farms as possible;

3.4 For our agriculture to stay competitive it will be essential to invest more in the continuous breeding of plants and animals, preferably, though not exclusively in government-controlled research centres;

3.5 Producer, processor and consumer cooperatives should be encouraged, likewise small and medium-sized industries should be encouraged in this sector;

3.6 Farmers should be given appropriate training to enable them to be involved closely in putting biotechnological research and applications to use and assessing their value;

4. Calls for all the ecological consequences to be taken into account in the use and application of biotechnology;

5. Supports the cooperation in the field of breeding between scientists, breeders, working farmers, environmentalists and conservationists designed to preserve a broad genetic poten tial;

6. Hopes that the guiding principles behind research into the breeding of particular animal species and the cultivation of particular plant varieties will be a concern to enhance qualitative, rather than quantitative performance, and an unfailing respect for the basic natural characteristics of such species and varieties;

7. Believes that successful plant breeding relies on the creation of diversity and this process can be accelerated using biotechnology;

8. Stresses the importance of species and gene conservation and the part played by gene banks and species repositories; considers, however, that the natural inheritance of mankind which these represent must be safeguarded outside any spirit of a desire to secure a commercial monopo ly,

9. Calls for gene banks to be made subject to public supervision and the protection of intellectual property by means of adequate patent safeguards;

10. Considers that genetically manipulated organisms may not be introduced into the envi ronment until all the relevant tests and experiments have been approved;

11. Calls on the Commission to propose directives on the basis of OECD recommendations and ensure that European undertakings comply with same both inside and outside the European Community; 23. 3. 87 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 76/25

Monday, 16 February 1987

12. Is seriously concerned at experiments recently carried out in certain countries; calls on the Commission to make contact with the international organizations concerned with a view to drawing up and ensuring respect for a code of conduct on experiments in the environment;

13. Calls for comprehensive testing of genetically engineered organisms before releasing them in any part of the world. Calls on the Commission to introduce standards for testing;

14. Supports the efforts of Third World countries to use appropriate technology to develop their agriculture and their economies and to reduce their dependence on multi-nationals;

15. Calls for prices for agricultural products to be fixed at a level which will help to give a reasonable income in farming thus helping to safeguard family farming in the Community;

16. Feels, nevertheless, that the prospects for industrial markets for agricultural products must be analyzed, as they represent: — a further way of disposing of surpluses, — a far from negligible source of indigenous raw materials for Community industry;

17. Considers it imperative that energy-production resources (bioethanol) be exploited, with all the necessary precautions to protect soil and groundwater;

18. Approves of the fact that the Community has passed legislation banning growth hormones; calls on the Commission to pursue this restrictive policy in respect of all types of hormones, and asks it to make approaches to the international organizations concerned (FAO, WHO, the International Dairy Products Council, etc.) and third countries which produce, use and export hormones, to ensure that a set of overall international rules on the trade in and use of hormones in agriculture and stockbreeding is introduced;

19. Calls on the Commission to produce a forcast, along the lines of the US Congress OTA report, of the likely structural and social consequences of the promotion and application of biotechnology and genetic technology in the European farming industry;

20. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission.

RESOLUTION

on biotechnology in Europe and the need for an integrated policy

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the communication from the Commission to the Council concerning the review of the multiannual reasearch programme for the EEC in the field of biotechnology (1985-1989) (COM(86) 272 final),

— having regard to the discussion paper of the Commission 'Biotechnology in the Community: Stimulating Agro-Industrial Development' (Com(86) 221 final),

— having regard to the motions for resolutions by Mr Roux and others, on behalf of the ERDA Group, on research in the field of biotechnology (Doc. B2-579/85), by Mr Tolman and Mr Eyraud, on behalf of the Committee on Agriculture, on the use of agricultural products in biotechnology (Doc. B2-1087/85) and by Mr Pearce on developments in the manufacture of hormones (Doc. B2-1162/85), No C 76/26 Official Journal of the European Communities 23.3.87

Monday, 16 February 1987

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology and the opinions of the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection (Doc. A2-134/86),

A. whereas the complexity of biotechnology research requires a multidisciplinary and integrated approach which goes far beyond the financial and research potentials of the individual Member States of the Community,

B. in view of the considerable success of the first European Biomolecular Engineering Pro gramme (BEP) in stimulating transnational cooperation between European laboratories and the training of young scientists as well as coordinating research activities, although BEP had only a limited budget and concentrated mainly on research connected with agriculture and the food processing industry,

C. recognizing that since the start of the Biotechnology Action Programme (BAP) in 1985 new and broader areas of research are covered and that this programme was received with overwhelming interest both from industry and research laboratories, resulting in more than 1 300 project applications, of which, however, more than 80 % had to be turned down because of the restricted budgetary provisions of the four-year-programme,

D. warning that further neglect of applications for highly promising projects may well make European laboratories less willing to cooperate,

E. aware of the positive effects a more substantial financial endowment of the BAP would have as regards — the development of socially useful products, — the extension of scientific exchange and training facilities especially for the less-advanced countries in the Community, — the expansion into those important research areas where Europe is lagging behing the USA and Japan, such as bioinformatics, protein design and plant biochemistry,

F. determined that the social, economic, ecological, ethical, legal and health aspects of new developments in the field of biotechnology should be evaluated and assessed at the research and development stage,

G. recognizing that biotechnology has up to now researched only a few aspects of the way in which DNA works, and convinced that it would be extremely dangerous and irresponsible to rush to transform these processes into marketable products, in view of the complex structures of the organisms and ecosystems being interfered with,

H. recognizing that, since they did not participate in the first BEP programme, the new Member States of the Community should receive supplementary aid to enable them to participate in the Biotechnology Action Programme (BAP) under optimum conditions,

I. aware of the predominantly negative effects of the use of biotechnology by the industrialized countries on the Third World countries,

J. whereas to date there are no reliable scientific methods for assessing the medium and long-term effects of the irreversible release of genetically manipulated organisms into the environment,

K. whereas the first experiments in releasing genetically manipulated organisms are already underway and, for the first time in the Community, such an experiment was authorized and carried out this summer in the United Kingdom, despite the fact that there are no compre hensive and binding provisions at national or Community level governing safety and liability in respect of such experiments, 23.3.87 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 76/27

Monday, 16 February 1987

1. Asks the Commission to review its biotechnology programme with a view to providing the Community with an effective strategic programme that affords Europe the means of increasing its competitiveness on world markets vis-a-vis Japan and the United States and enables the Com munity on the one hand to diversify its biotechnological research in such a way that resources are made available above all for basic research which takes a holistic view of life and work, gears its objectives to regional needs, safeguards, the bases of life and promotes forward-looking ecological research and, on the other hand, to investigate the medium and long-term effects of the use of genetic engineering in all its potential fields of application;

2. Believes that the revised biotechnology programme should specify priority fields of action within which research projects will be conducted that allow for link-ups between laboratories and European companies;

3. Believes at all events that the biotechnology programme should involve the industrial community as far as possible while remaining at the stage of precompetitive research;

4. Calls on the Commission to include Parliament's recommendations in its proposal for the revision of the programme;

5. Demands that the members of the consultative, evaluative and decision-making bodies of the Community be free of private commercial interests;

6. Stresses the importance of the Commission taking action to ensure that high priority is given to those projects which contribute to socially useful products with high development costs and relatively low profits such as 'orphan drugs';

7. Suggests that priority should be given to activities in the field of health in order to promote research concentrating on the main causes of death in Europe (cardio-vascular diseases and cancer);

8. Considers that human medical research must exclude the manipulation of human genes, particularly human germ-cells, and that veterinary medical research must respect the integrity of individual animals and species and breeds of animals;

9. Stresses the importance of research in the areas of medical biotechnology and environmental biotechnology (e.g. degradation of toxic substances), which are under-represented in the current programme, but at the same time warns against the dangerous illusion that environmental protection can be replaced by 'biotechnological repairs' to the environment;

10. Underlines the importance of medical research (in areas such as tropical diseases, vaccines, etc.) and the need for cooperation with Third World countries;

11. Expects the Commission to give priority in future to projects studying the problems posed by the intentional release into the environment of genetically engineered natural micro-organisms ('deliberate release') and demands that such releases be banned until binding Community safety directives have been drawn up, possibly on the basis of the relevant OECD recommendations; expects the Commission to continue to give priority to the standardization of varieties and the danger of cultivating the same varieties over large areas, which should be one of the topics of the FAST conference in March 1987;

12. Asks the Commission to be aware in a general sense of the repercussions of each research project on the environment and suggests that for each research project a sum yet to be determined should be set aside in the overall financial package for an environmental impact study;

13. Calls for an assessment of the political and ecological repercussions of possible risks of epidemics or any restriction of gene resources and suggests a feasibility study for a European Institute for Ecology;

14. Demands that the principles and guidelines of good practice with regard to the safety of workers in laboratories, including university and research institutes, be strictly respected and broadened in scope in view of the special risks associated with genetic engineering methods; No C 76/28 Official Journal of the European Communities 23.3.87

Monday, 16 February 1987

15. Welcomes the recent inventory by the Commission's Biotechnology Regulation Interser- vice Committee as an important step towards creating a European biotechnology regulation system and calls for harmonization of Member States' provisions with regard to safety and the environment to provide for common procedures for risk assessment and imposition of conditions at each stage of the development of projects involving micro-organisms carrying genetic material and suggests a step-by-step approach for regulating the various phases of biotechnology processes (laboratory, trials, limited production, mass production) and a case-by-case approach for approv ing new biotechnology products;

16. Underlines the need for intensive stimulation of research in the field of bioinformatics (bio-data banks, inter-laboratory information networks, etc.) by setting up intensive training and research facilities in cooperation with the ESPRIT programme;

17. Calls on the Commission to submit a safety study examining the present state of legislation and desirable standards as regards liability and insurance cover, disaster prevention and protec tion against sabotage or terrorist attacks both in respect of research establishments and of production plants;

18. Calls for better and wider dissemination of biotechnological knowledge using advanced info-networks, via the BICEPS initiative, and welcomes therefore the planned cooperation of DG XII and DG XIII;

19. Underlines the possible major impact of biotechnology on the future development of agriculture, which will bring about important changes in agriculture and other related fields, such as the seed industry and international trade in commodities;

20. Calls for an investigation into pricing of agricultural raw materials that will be used in biotechnology industry;

21. Expects special consideration to be given to the possible regional disparities resulting from biotechnology especially concerning the less-favoured position of the Mediterranean countries and the Third World as regards the interface between biotechnology, agriculture and industry, as well as the effects of plant substitution on the future agricultural orientation of these countries and asks for a follow-up of the Athens conference;

22. Proposes that the BAP programme take into account the possible lower level of develop ment attained in Portugal and Spain and grant those countries additional resources to enable them to reach the levels attained by those countries which have already benefited from the BEP;

23. Calls for greater coordination between the BAP programme and the Science and Techno logy for Development (STD) programme (1987-1990) in the area of tropical agriculture and health care and demands easier access to training facilities in the Community for scientists and technicians from the Third World to enable these countries to develop their own research facilities;

24. Stresses the need for harmonization of patent law to prevent unfair competition by ensuring patentability of micro-organisms and ensuring that biotechnological innovations receive equal treatment under the different systems of the Member States;

25. Calls on the Commission to ensure that the research findings of the Community pro grammes are not used for military purposes;

26. Demands that the population be better and more comprehensively informed regarding opportunities and risks in the sphere of biotechnology, of the Community's objectives and approaches and the funds earmarked for this purpose;

27. Calls on the Commission to include, in all its consultative and evaluative bodies concerned with biotechnology, representatives of the population groups concerned and in particular actively to involve representatives of trade unions, environmental protection groups, consumer groups, farmers' pressure groups and citizens' initiatives in the health sector in deliberations and deci sions on the future allocation of research funds; 23.3.87 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 76/29

Monday, 16 February 1987

28. Demands that existing provisions regarding the designation of products be adapted to take into account both the genetic production procedure employed and the composition of the products; 29.
