De går af sammen med Deres kommissærer, og på det tidspunkt vil de europæiske.borgere have tillid til en så modig og gennemsigtig union, og ved Deres afgang har De gjort det muligt for det Europa, som De tror på, at komme videre.
In an attempt to be objective, however, I would point out that the Commission proposed a ban on the export of British meatandbone meal to toe markets of the other Member States as long ago as 1989. That proposal was rejected by the Council.
Og De kan være rolig: Meget hurtigt, om
There was therefore a known risk.
Det grænseløse landbrugsmarked er en forældet idé; der må brydes radikalt med den, før vi udsættes for endnu større katastrofer.
If Mr Packer blamed God for what happened, goodness knows whom Mr Hogg would have blamed!
På det tidspunkt vil Den Europæiske Union starte igen og få et bedre image takket være Dem. Derfor vil jeg for at gøre Dem en tjeneste, hr. Santer, stemme for mistillidsvotummet. votummet.
wish to lay the principal blame in this affair at the door of the Commission - a step which I believe it would be absurd, if not dishonest, to take.
Hr. formand, måske er det en drøm.
The main culprit in this affair is undoubtedly toe British Government.
Kommissionen skulle have indtaget en anden, mere forsigtig, indfaldsvinkel, men derfra og til at påføre den størstedelen af skylden i denne sag, er der et langt skridt, som det forekommer mig absurd, for ikke at sige uærligt, at tage.
As was stated in yesterday's Financial Times, for 11 long years toe government continued saying that British beef was completely safe, despite toe contrary evidence which was emerging.
Hovedskyldneren er Det Forenede Kongerige. Det er klart, at, hvis det allerede i 1988 havde truffet de nødvendige foranstaltninger til nedslagtning og forbud mod markeds føring af benmel på grundlag af animalske proteiner, ville epizootien have været holdt nede.
The result has been that 15 people have sadly died of Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease; farmers and farm workers alike have suffered unprecedented hardship; toe British taxpayer has had to fork out £3.3bn, and over one million cattle have been culled.
Hr. Bébéar, lad mig give Dem et foreløbigt svar på den del af Deres brev, der er rettet til Parlamentets formandskab, og minde Dem om, at i henhold til artikel 34, stk. 5, i forretningsordenen finder afstemningen om et forslag til· mistillidsvotum tidligst sted 48 timer efter forhandlingens begyndelse.
It was also caused by the conspiracy of silence on the part of certain Member States, which instructed their experts in toe Standing Veterinary Com mittee not to divulge information regarding the affair.
Jeg mener, at tidsplanen var rigeligt stram.
In these circumstances, an immediate vote of censure on toe Commission does not make sense.
Og nu, ærede medlemmer, har hr. Brinkhorst ordet i halvandet minut.
The British Government's poUcy of non-cooperation was, as we all know, a farce.
Af disse grunde er et umiddelbart mistillidsvotum til Kommissionen en urimelighed.
Despite aU of this, toe ban on British beef remains to this day.
Til gengæld viser det betingede mistillidsvotum sig mere egnet.
Surely the lesson for the British people is that for the ban to be Ufted toe Conservative Government has to be removed.
Men hvem skal man straffe, og hvordan skal man straffe?
Let us hope that this wUl happen in the very near, future.
Man skal straffe Det Forenede Kongerige, der er skyldig i alvorligt at have overtrådt reglerne for det indre marked og organiseret en økonomisk forbrydelse i stor målestok, og som burde bringes for Den Europæiske Unions Dom stol. Man skal også straffe de medlemsstater, der har gjort sig skyldige i handel med britisk benmel, navnlig Belgien, der har været knudepunkt for denne trafik, som det afsløres i rapporten af Mattéi, der er forelagt for den franske nationalforsamling.
Sanctions must be imposed on the British Government, which is guUty of seriously violating the rules of the internal market and organizing a large-scale economic crime, and which should be brought before the European Court of Justice.
Jeg mener, at det er vigtigt at komme til bunds i tingene, at finde de egentlige skyldige og straffe dem.
I believe that it is important to get to the bottom of things, and to identify toe real culprits and punish them.
Det gælder Europa-Parlamentets troværdighed og Europas uroværdighed over for de borgere, der i sidste ende bedømmer os.
The prestige of Parliament and the Union in the eyes of the citizens who wUl ultimately be our judge depends on this.
Brinkhorst (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, denne forhandling kan få historisk betydning.
David (PSE). - Mr President, as we all know last night in the House of Commons the British Agriculture Minister, Douglas Hogg, survived a vote of censure by the skin of his teeth.
Det vil nemlig være tilfældet, hvis, som kommissionsformanden, hr. Santer, siger, jernringen om landbrugspolitikken, der har eksisteret i fyrre år, endelig brydes.
All the more reason, therefore, for us to explain here today, from a European perspective, the crass incompetence of the British Government's handling of toe BSE crisis.
Det kan blive tilfældet, men det kan man endnu ikke konkludere ud fra denne forhandling.
There can be no question but that the Medina report is a trenchant condemnation of the British Government and a powerful exposé of toe mistakes of the Commission.
Af den grund er der mange i Parlamentet, der siger: Ikke ord, men handling.
TrakateUis (PPE). - (EL) Mr President, one of the most important roles of the.
Men skal vi virkelig vente på det til november? Det er hverken i Kommissionens eller i Parlamentets interesse at vente ni måneder, før de konkrete udslag kommer.
European Parliament is toe monitor ing of the actions of the Commission.
Hvor stort bliver budgettet? Hvem skal reelt kontrollere det?
Allow me to recall that one of the labours of Hercules was to clean the Augean stables.
Skepsisen i befolkningen forsvinder ikke, før De har truffet dê foranstaltninger, og jeg håber altså, vi i fællesskab kan beslutte, at det bliver til september og ikke til november.
I beUeve that the chairman of the committee and its members and toe rapporteur have performed a similar, herculean, task.
Jeg kan se det nederland ske formandskabs repræsentant. Som nederlandsk medlem ærgrer det mig meget, at det nederlandske formandskab ikke selv er til stede her.
Like Mr Whitehead, I have reservations about some of the recommendations in the report, but in a most graphic way I recognize that it shows that the British Government was slow to respond to the unfolding crisis.
David (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, som vi alle ved, overlevede den britiske landbrugsminister, Douglas Hogg, med nød og næppe en mistillidsafstemning i aftes i Underhuset.
Last week the British Government made a highly emotive attack on the Medina report.
Så meget mere grund er der derfor til, at vi her i dag i et europæisk perspektiv forklarer den britiske regerings grove inkompetence i håndteringen af BSE-krisen.
But what was significant was that no attempt was made to contradict one of the central messages of the report: that it was the British Government which was principaUy responsible for BSE because of the deregulation of the meat-rendering industry in the early 1980s.
Der kan ikke være nogen tvivl om, at Medinaberetningen er en sviende fordømmelse af den britiske regering og en stærk blotlæggelse af Kommissionens fejl.
Given that the Permanent Secretary, Mr Packer, who attended in place of Mr Hogg, informed us that BSE was an act of God, we
Svensson (GUE/NGL). - (SV) Hr. formand, mange har del i ansvaret for BSE-katastrofen, men dens dybereliggende årsag er den fælles landbrugspolitik, og for den er samtlige EU-institutioner ansvarlige, også Parlamentet.
Ladies and gentlemen, at this crucial juncture, as the work of the intergovernmental conference nears completion, we must examine the European Union's priorities and ask ourselves how best we can serve the interests of the citizens of Europe to whom we are responsible.
Den har ført til ekstreme, pressede og kunstige produktionsforhold.
We must be scrupulous and satisfy the citizens' sense of justice.
Den har fjernet national grænsekontrol og gjort det lettere for smitte at spredes gennem dyr og levnedsmidler.
The Commission has to be put on a new course, and that can be achieved only through a restructuring of its services and, above all, through the adoption of new basic principles.
Ligesom hr. Whitehead har jeg forbehold over for dele af henstillingerne i betænkningen, men jeg erkender krystalklart, at den viser, at den britiske regering reagerede langsomt på den krise, der var under optræk.
Accept ance by the European Parliament of the report of toe Committee of Inquiry into BSE will entail, of itself, the attribution of responsibilities as between the United Kingdom, the Commission and the CouncU and, also, to senior officials.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Debates of toe European ParUament
Ligeledes må jeg sige, at jeg endnu ikke har hørt nogen fornuftig forklaring på, hvorfor Douglas Hogg ikke kunne komme til mødet i undersøgelsesudvalget.
I have toe impression that there is a large measure of agreement with toe Commission here in toe House that there can be no cost-cutting when it comes to protecting the health of our citizens.
Når hr. Packer gav skæbnen skylden, så er det ikke godt at vide, hvem hr. Hogg ville have kastet skylden på!
That has always been the case, but the principle has not been observed. The policy has not been adapted to it.
Denne beretning viser, at det er den britiske regering, der i sidste instans er skyldig.
The British Government stands at toe head of toe chain of cause and effect in this failure, and the Commission has failed as well.
Som det blev sagt i Financial Times i går,· så fortsatte regeringen gennem 11 lange år med at sige, at britisk oksekød var helt sikkert til trods for alle de vidnesbyrd om det modsatte, der dukkede op.
The Council of Ministers has not covered itself with glory, and we should also exercise some degree of self-criticism: despite early warnings from the committees, for example, we did not produce a majority for any radical change in agriculture policy.
være præget af den største retfærdighed, så borgernes retsfølelse ikke krænkes, og vi er nødt til at hjælpe Kommissionen ind på en ny kurs, der tager udgangspunkt i en omstrukturering af dens tjenestegrene og - især - i nye grundprincipper.
manded from toe Commission. Firstly, that it should put its house in order and initiate the requisite disciplinary action against the persons responsible for toe mismanagement, regardless of their seniority.
For det andet at stille forslag til regeringskonferencen om fælles beslutningstagning inden for den fælles land brugspolitik.
Secondly, that it should forward a proposal, in the. context of the intergovernmental conference, concerning toe appUcation of the codecision procedure to toe CAP.
For det tredje at foretage en øjeblikkelig, komplet reorganisering af de videnskabelige udvalg og disses arbejde ud fra rent videnskabelige kriterier.
Thirdly, that it should move quickly towards full reorganization of toe scientific committees and to ensure that their operations are based on purely scientific criteria.
For det fjerde at reorganisere generaldirektoraterne i samarbejde med Europa-Parlamentet, så vi får en struktur, der kan yde en effektiv beskyttelse af befolkningens sundhed og af miljøet.
Fourthly, that it should reorganize the directorates-general, in cooperation with the European Parliament, in order to establish a suitable structure for effective protection of human health and the environment.
Vi må have indført et princip om, at sundheden altid prioriteres højest og går forud for det fælles markeds økonomiske mål.
Espousal of toe precept that toe health of human beings is toe fundamental priority, and that it must, of course, take precedence over the financial expedience of toe common market, is imperative.
Landbrugere og landarbejdere har været udsat for vanskeligheder uden fortilfælde; de britiske skatteydere har måttet betale £3, 3 mia, og over 1 million køer er blevet destrueret.
One of its causes was toe British Government's complete misunderstanding of deregulation, and also to some extent the mistaken idea of deregulation put forward by the Commission and some sections of Parliament.
Den britiske regerings politik om ikke at samarbejde var, som vi alle ved, en farce.
I am not speaking out here in favour of some wonderfuUy cosy form of small-scale agriculture.
Til trods for alt dette er der til den dag i dag forbud mod britisk oksekød.
I am quite sure you need a new Director-General, Mr Fischler.
Det, det britiske folk må lære, er da bestemt, at hvis man skal have hævet forbuddet mod oksekød, så må den konservative regering fjernes.
If someone is responsible for fire prevention and does not do his job properly, you cannot then employ him as a fire-fighter!
Lad os håbe, at det vil ske i nærmeste fremtid.
That is not on, believe me!
Vi tror, at dette er en grundlæggende forudsætning for, at de europæiske borgere kan genvinde den fulde tillid til Kommissionens handlinger og stole på, at Kommissionen ikke kun er traktaternes vogter, men også beskytter af sundhed og miljø.
We believe this to be the only way of ensuring that toe citizens of Europe can regain fuU confidence in toe actions of toe Commission and be convinced that it is the true guardian not only of the treaties but also of their health and toe environment.
Hvis Kommissionen ikke handler hurtigt og i overensstemmelse med undersøgelsesudvalgets henstillinger, kan kommissionsformanden være sikker på, at december bliver den sidste måned for hans Kommission.
If the Commission fails to act quickly, and in accordance with the Committee of In quiry's recommendations, you can be sure, Mr President of toe Commission, that December will be the final month of your Commission.
Tro ikke, at De kan overbevise os med halve foranstaltninger.
Do not think that you can fool us with half-measures.
Vi kræver fuld efterlevelse af undersøgelsesudvalgets henstilling og øjeblikkelig tilbagetrækning af Deres tilladelse til ophævelse af forbuddet mod gelatine, som stadig er i kraft.
We want full compliance with toe committee's recommendations and immediate withdrawal of your authorization, which is still applicable, of the lifting of toe ban on gelatin.
Denne beslutning bør øjeblikkeligt trækkes tilbage.
We ask you to rescind that decision immediately.
Frischenschlager (ELDR). - (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg vil gerne koncentrere mig om tre punkter.
Frischenschlager (ELDR). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to concentrate on three points.
For det første er der naturligvis slået skår i tillidsforholdet mellem mange parlamentsmedlemmer og Kommissionen.
Firstly, of course, the relationship of trust between many Members of the House and the Commission has been shattered.
Men det vigtigste må være, at der virkelig drages politiske konsekvenser af hele denne skandale, at der igangsættes reformer.
However, the most important thing has to be that political conclusions are actuaUy drawn from this whole scandal, that reforms are introduced.
I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne henvende mig helt personligt til landbrugskommissær Fischler.
Here I would like to address Mr Fischler personally as the Agriculture Commissioner.
Jeg har en gang imellem indtryk af, at De befinder Dem i en lidt beskyttet position, fordi der ikke kan afgives mistillidsvotum mod enkelte medlemmer af Kommissionen.
I sometimes have toe impression that you are in a rather protected position, because there is no vote of censure on individual Members of the Commission.
Men netop De vil blive målt efter, om De nu opfylder to ting.
But you will be judged on whether you do two things now.
Det er mit andet og tredje punkt.
And these are my second and third points.
Trakatellis (PPE). - (EL) Hr. formand, en af Europa-Parlamentets vigtigste roller er at kontrollere Kommissionens handlinger.
I would say quite clearly once again: we in Parliament cannot simply make demands.
Her kunne jeg tænke mig at minde Dem om et af Herakles' arbejder, som var at muge ud i Augias' stald.
But then we must consider certain things with regard to animals, and also with regard to human health.
Jeg synes, udvalgets formand, ordføreren og de øvrige medlemmer har udført en lignende bedrift.
Gillis (PPE). - Mr President, as a member of the Committee of Inquiry I voted for and I fully support toe Committee of Inquiry's findings and recommendations.
Det er ikke forsvarligt, at et land, en regering forårsager et kæmpetab og ikke skal betale for det.
It will not do for a country or a government to cause enormous damage and then not to have to pay for it.
Der er brugt mange penge på at udbedre tab.
A great deal of money has been spent on repairing the damage.
De skal - om nødvendigt også ved at indbringe sagen for EF-Domstolen - hentes tilbage.
This must be retrieved - if necessary through an action before the European Court of Justice.
Det er helt vigtigt.
That is very important.
Der er et andet punkt, De bør koncentrere Dem om - formand Santer har også sagt det i sin tale: Hovedfejlen i denne udvikling har været en forkert landbrugspolitik.
And there is another point on which you should be focusing, as Mr Santer also said in his speech: the principal mistake in this series of events was a misguided agricultural poUcy.
Og De, hr. Fischler, er ansvarlig for, at der her sker en vending, væk fra den industrielle landbrugspolitik og hen til en økologisk politik.
And you are responsible, Mr Fischler, for seeing that a change takes place here, a move away from an industrial agricultural poUcy and towards an ecological policy.
Mine damer og herrer, vi er nødt til at se på Den Europæiske Unions prioriteter og tænke på, hvordan vi bedst tjener de europæiske borgere, som vi er ansvarlige overfor, især i en vigtig tid for Unionen, nu hvor regeringskonferencen er under afvikling.
In particular it was found that the British decision to alter the manufacturing process which lowered sterilization standards for meat and bonemeal used in compound feeding stuffs for cattle aUowed the emergence of the disease. Whatever savings in fuel were achieved, this reckless change in standards has now cost consumers, taxpayers and especially farmers several million times more than any possible savings.
Vore handlinger må
Having eventually banned
Frischenschlager blive målt efter, det vil vi knytte tillidsspørgsmålet sammen med!
Gillis the use of meat and bonemeal toe British Government then completely faUed to implement its ban.
Görlach (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. Santer, trods uskarpe formuleringer i Deres indlæg vil de fleste med lemmer vel vedlægge Deres tale som bilag til den beslutning, vi forhåbentlig vil træffe i morgen med stort flertal, fordi vi så om få måneder kan krydse af, hvad der er blevet af disse løfter.
Worse still, it allowed contaminated meat and bonemeal to be exported without restriction, thus contaminating herds in neighbouring EU countries.
Hvad man end sparede på brændsel, så har denne ansvarsløse ændring af normerne nu kostet forbrugerne, skatteyderne og i særdeleshed landbrugerne adskillige millioner gange mere end nogen mulig besparelse.
At toe various stages of food production in the Union, the BSE crisis has aheady cost more than ECU 2 biUion.
Efter at den britiske regering endelig havde forbudt brugen af kød og benmel, undlod den så fuldstændig at gennemføre dette forbud.
Those who have been forced to foot the biU are innocent farmers, whose support has been cut and is continuing to be cut.
Hvad der var værre, den tillod forurenet kød og benmel at blive eksporteret uden begrænsninger og smittede derved kvæg i nabolande fra EU.
What damages should be paid by those who made mistakes?
Jeg har indtryk af, at der her i huset er stor enighed også med Kommissionen om, at der ikke må gives nogen rabat i spørgsmålet om beskyttelse af borgernes sundhed.
I welcome President Santer's statement today, but since 1989 the European Commission has been slow to recognize the seriousness of this disease and it faUed to supervise toe British response.
Det har altid været sådan, blot er dette princip ikke blevet overholdt.
It aUowed contaminated meat and bonemeal to be traded freely throughout Europe.
Politikken har ikke orienteret sig efter det. Den britiske regering står helt foran i kausalkæden af svigt, og Kommissionen har ligeledes svigtet.
Furthermore, the Commission carried out practicaUy no veterinary inspections in the UK at a time when tens of thousands of animals were being infected annuaUy in that country.
Jeg glæder mig over hr. Santers udtalelse i dag, men siden 1989 har Kommissionen været langsom til at erkende alvoren af denne sygdom, og den har ikke overvåget den britiske reaktion.
I support toe conditional vote of no confidence to compel the Commission to take those unavoidable decisions to enable it to monitor Member States' compliance with Community legislation.
Den tillod, at forurenet kød og benmel blev forhandlet frit i hele Europa.
This is particularly important because food safety and human health are affected.
Desuden foretog Kom missionen næsten ikke nogen veterinær inspektion i Stor britannien på et tidspunkt, hvor titusinder af dyr hvert år blev smittet i dette land.
If necessary, the Commission should introduce heavy, conditionally suspended fines for breaches of Community legislation wherever there is a danger to human health.
Kommissionens mangel på aktivitet siden 1989 med hen syn til BSE må regnes for en af de største fiaskoer for offentlig administration i nyere tids historie.
The Commission's lack of activity since 1989 in respect of BSE must rank as one of the greatest failures of public administration in recent history.
Det meste af, men ikke hele, skylden påhviler tidligere kommissioner, sådan som det klart bliver fastslået i beretningen.
Most, but not all, of toe fault lies with previous Commissions, as the report clearly establishes.
Den forkerte land brugspolitik var en anden årsag. Jeg lægger her ikke et godt ord ind for et eller andet yndigt og vidunderligt smålandbrug.
This epidemic was only able to reach the proportions that it did because toe necessary measures were not taken in full.
Vi har store enheder; når vi har store besætninger, hører der et stort areal til. Også det kan være økologisk fornuftigt, men begge dele har vi ikke!
Can you imagine there being an outbreak of swine fever without toe health authorities taking determined action to eradicate it?
Hr. kollega Fischler, jeg er sikker på, De har brug for en ny generaldirektør!
Similar action to eradicate mad cow disease should have been taken from toe outset.
Beretningen fra undersøgelsesudvalget medtager et antal ændringsforslag, som jeg har stillet, fordi det er min opfattelse, at BSE hovedsagelig er blevet udbredt uden for Storbritannien via eksport af forurenet kød og benmel.
The report from the Committee of Inquiry incorporates a number of amendments which I tabled because I believe that BSE spread outside Britain mainly through exports of contaminated meat and bonemeal.
Jeg har derfor i denne beretning medtaget en opfordring til lovgivning, der kan sikre, at kød og benmel aldrig igen bliver brugt i foderstoffer til drøvtyggere, og at foderstoffer til drøvtyggere ikke kan produceres på noget sted, hvor der er kød og benmel til stede.
I have therefore in cluded in the report a caU for legislation to ensure meat and bonemeal is never again used in ruminant feeds and that ruminant feeds cannot be produced on any premises where meat and bonemeal is present.
Udvalget har også accepteret mit forslag om, at kød og benmel kun må sælges med særlig licens, og endvidere at der på alle sammensatte foderstoffer offentliggøres en udtømmende liste over ingredienserne.
The committee also accepted my proposal that meat and bonemeal be sold only under special Ucence and that, in addition, a full list of ingredients be displayed on all compound feeds.
Det er klart, at disse regler skal gennemføres i alle medlemsstater og støttes af stærk lovgivning.
Obviously these rules must be implemented in all Member States and backed by strong legislation.
