That this House is alarmed at evidence which shows that the commercial importation of wild birds is threatening the survival of hundreds of bird species in the wild, with at least 30 per cent. of the 140 parrot species in the Western Hemisphere threatened with extinction; notes that this trade involves unacceptable inhumane methods of capture and transit which result in the premature mortality of a large number of wild birds each years, and that Europe is the largest imported of wild birds, holding 80 per cent. of the global market; recognises that these practices could expose European birds to deadly infectious diseases, such as avian influenza which could harm Europe's multi-million pound poultry industry and that it could also transmit serious diseases to humans, including Salmonella and Clamidia psittaci; congratulates the campaign of bodies like the World Parrot Trust to stop this unacceptable trade; and therefore calls upon the Government to work with other EU Member States to end the commercial importation of wild birds.

That this House notes the pressure exerted by the United States and biotech companies, especially through the GM dispute at the World Trade Organisation, to open European markets to GM products; is concerned this may lead to rushed decisions that deny consumer choice for GM-free food and leave farmers without compensation for GM contamination; further notes that EU law makes the drawing up of rules to avoid GM contamination the responsibility of national parliaments; and believes that before any further planting of genetically modified organisms, science-based rules for their release should be debated and approved by Parliament and the relevant national assemblies and that such rules should seek to prevent contamination of conventional and organic crops, preserve consumer choice and make GM consent holders liable for damage caused by their products.
