Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) As cultivation is closely linked to the use of land and to the protection of flora and fauna, matters in respect of which Member States retain important competencies, it appears appropriate to give them a right to restrict or prohibit GM cultivation on their territory on grounds related to environmental or other legitimate factors relating to the deliberate release of GMOs into the environment where those factors have not been addressed as part of the harmonised procedure foreseen in Part C of Directive 2001/18/EC or have not been sufficiently dealt with.

(9) On the basis of the subsidiarity principle, the purpose of this Regulation is not to harmonize the conditions of cultivation in Member States but to grant freedom to Member States to invoke otherestrict or gprounds than scientific assessment of health and environmental risks to ban cultivation of GMOs on their territoryhibit the cultivation of GMOs on their territory on grounds related to environmental or other legitimate factors which might arise from the deliberate release or the placing on the market of GMOs where those factors have not been addressed as part of the harmonised procedure foreseen in Part C of Directive 2001/18/EC or have not been sufficiently dealt with. In addition one of the purposes of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations27 which is to allow the Commission to consider the adoption of binding acts at EU level would not be served by the systematic notification of Member States' measures under that Directive.. Moreover, since measures which Member States can adopt under this Regulation cannot have as a subject the placing of the market of GMOs and thus does not modify the conditions of placing on the market of GMOs authorised under the existing legislation, the notification procedure under Directive 98/34/EC does not appear the most appropriate information channel for the Commission. Therefore, by derogation, Directive 98/34/EC should not be applicable. A simpler notification system of the national measures prior to their adoption appears to be a more proportionate tool for the Commission to be aware of these measures. Measures which Member States intend to adopt should thus be communicated together with their reasons to the Commission and to the other Member States one month prior to their adoption for information purposes.
