Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg kommer nu til et andet spørgsmål, der har fremkaldt megen uro.
In my view, a number of factors justify continuing with internal inquiries within the Commission to determine to what extent the officials who were involved and responsible really acted on behalf of the Community - or failed to do so.
Jeg taler om mistanker om illegal eksport af britisk oksekød.
But I would also say this: as far as I am aware, a committee of inquiry would bring nothing new before the House.
Vi har skrevet til alle Unionens landbrugsministre og anmodet dem om at være endnu mere årvågne.
However, we had to wait until 1994 before legislation prohibiting the use of meatbased meal was adopted at European level.
Vi har også bedt dem om at foretage en undersøgelse og give Kommissionen alle relevante oplysninger i den forbindelse.
We believe, therefore, that the Union's institutions did not function as they should have.
Endelig har vi givet vores egen afdeling til bekæmpelse af bedrageri.
We have the impression that, at the time, everything happened as if the watchword were 'don't make waves'.
UCLAF, instruktion om at undersøge eventuelle uregelmæssigheder.
The result today is that everything is being swept away by a tidal wave.
For øjeblikket er de eneste skriftlige svar, som Kommissionen har fået. svarene fra den tyske minister, hr. Seehofer, og den italienske landbrugsminister. Jeg har dem til Parlamentets rådighed.
For that reason, Mr Santer, I would ask whether you can give the House an assurance that, as well as the internal inquiries which you have made about the written note, you will also examine whether the Commission staff have actually done all they could in recent years to secure implementation of the directives and regulations that have been adopted, and to what extent the necessary controls have been carried out in the Member States.
De vil se, at der her ikke er nogen information, der på nuværende tidspunkt kan berettige den alvorlige frygt, som er inspireret af de mange presseartikler, der har fulgt hr. Seehofers handling.
I would also ask for your assurance that the programme of culling is being carried out systematically, and that the interim research results will be made available promptly to the parliamentary committee responsible.
Det afslører endelig en vilje til uigennemsigtighed i informationen, for ikke at sige misinformation, en afvisning af gennemsigtighed, der praktisk.talt er skandaløs i vores tid i en demokratisk institution.
Consequently, Mr President, following these events which · in our view are totally and exceptionally disturbing, we are calling òn you to assume your responsibilities in full: firstly, in particular, by expediting an internal inquiry - but one in which both sides are heard - in order to establish exactly what happened in 1990 and draw the necessary conclusions, not least in disciplinary and political terms, if current or former Commissioners are involved.
Kommissionen vil insistere over for medlemsstaterne, således at de påtager sig deres ansvar. Toldvæsenet og veterinærmyndighederne, der henhører under medlemsstaternes myndighed, skal gøre deres arbejde.
Secondly, by setting up with the Member States an emergency committee to ensure compliance with the health rules currently in force, in order to guarantee that the ban on the export of British beef - as well as that on the use of hormones - is respected.
Hvad angår Kommissionen, udfører den sit.
For we know that in this sector too, the Member States' controls are inadequate.
Allerede i næste uge vil en ny veterinær undersøgelsesgruppe tage til Det Forenede Kongerige, og jeg har bedt om, at den er særlig opmærksom på en nøje overholdelse af fællesskabslovgivningen og styrkelsen af de fysiske kontroller i havnene.
Thirdly, by taking the initiative of proposing stringent regulations for the production of meatbased meal and its use in animal feeds, taking your lead from the restrictive legislation recently adopted by the French Government.
Hvis en embedsmand i Kommissionen faktisk har kunnet fremlægge et sådant notat i 1990, uanset om den politisk ansvarlige på det tidspunkt har haft kendskab hertil eller ikke, er det, fordi de objektive betingelser for, at dette notat kan fremlægges, er til stede.
On the other, there is a whole economic sector, from breeders to processors and distributors, which is on the verge of despair because its very survival is under threat.
Med andre ord-prioritering af markedets krav, manglende ansvar med hensyn til sundhed, viljen til at behandle sagerne for lukkede døre, alt dette skulle være almindelig udbredt, for at et sådant notat kunne se dagens lys og ikke gav anledning til nogen spørgsmål på noget som helst niveau.
Indeed, there are regions of the European Union - in Ireland, Scotland, the massif central in France, the mountainous areas of northern Italy - in which cattle farming is the predominant, if not the only economic and human activity.
Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, i denne sag vil vi ikke lade os lede væk fra vores indfaldsvinkel: Menneskenes sundhed frem for alt og udviklingen af den videnskabelige viden som eneste ledetråd.
Fourthly, by enacting common rules making the identification of carcasses compulsory throughout the European Union, with a view to increasing the transparency of marketing networks.
Enhver, også usandsynlig, information vil blive undersøgt. Vi vil ikke lagen nogen risici, og vi vil handle i gennemsigtighed.
Fifthly, by making available the financial resources that are necessary, on the one hand to eradicate the disease and, on the other, to rescue operators in the beef and veal sector.
Hvad mere er, hvis denne holdning på en af medlemsstaternes niveau falder sammen med meget udtalte økonomi ske interesser, med en forsømmelighed i de veterinære kontroller og med foragt for fællesskabsforordningerne, kan man forestille sig omfanget af katastrofen, den permanente formørkelse af virkeligheden, foragten for enhver interesse for forbrugernes sundhed og beskyttelse til fordel for den økonomiske interesse.
It is only by restoring consumer confidence - by applying in full the principle of transparency - and not by the Commission and the Member States persisting in passing the buck, with the sole aim ofjustifying their lack of action, that we shall emerge from this crisis.
Det er den egentlige skandale, hr. formand.
Two recent incidents give us cause for concern.
Virkningen af disse afsløringer er ødelæggende!
Previous speakers have referred to Mr Castille's note.
Ganske vist er Kommissionen under forsæde af hr. Santer ikke ansvarlig.
We welcome the fact, Mr President, that you have held an inquiry within the Commission.
Den embedsmand, der tog sig af sagen i 1990, er måske pensioneret. Der er sandsynligvis ikke nogen kom missær, der har set notatet i 1990.
Nevertheless, we are not satisfied with what you have told us, since in order for an inquiry to be credible, both sides must be heard.
Det er, fordi
However, as far as I am
136, er det i dette tilfælde, for at undersøge, om der faktisk har været en dårlig, for ikke at sige forsømmelig, administration i Kommissionens og den pågældende medlemsstats behandling af denne sag.
I therefore agree with what other speakers have said in this debate, that there must be an internal investigation and an internal report published to put an end to all these rumours. We need to be open and honest.
vedtagne direktiver og forordninger gennemføres, og hvor vidt de nødvendige kontrolforanstaltninger er blevet gen nemført i medlemsstaterne.
In the past, important decisions have been determined by the will to complete the single market or ensure the success of a summit.
Jeg vil endvidere gerne bede Dem om at forsikre os om, at destruktionsplanen gennem føres konsekvent, og at de foreløbige forskningsresultater rettidigt forelægges Europa-Parlamentets kompetente ud valg.
The public is aware of this, and we cannot expect to restore consumer confidence with such a record - even less so if the suspicion exists that economic interests have been put before public health in the taking of certain decisions.
Jeg mener, at dette ville være den rigtige måde at rette op på fortidens forsømmelser på.
We must not fall into past mistakes. In all future decisions, the slightest risk must be eliminated.
Alle har interesse i at få den største klarhed for at genskabe tilliden i de europæiske og nationale myndigheder: Land mændenes tillid, men navnlig borgernes og forbrugernes tillid.
What role should the Commission play here? What role is it already playing in coordinating all the research that is currently being done in Europe, and what will the financial implications of this be?
Pasty (UPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, hr. kommissionsformand, vi ventede os meget af Deres erklæring, for vi har den lidt pinagtige fornemmelse, at Kommissionen ikke altid tidligere har truffet de nøjagtige forholdsregler i det politiske ragnarok, som sagen med kogalskab er.
In this affair, there are interests, winners, losers and economic costs - but above all, risks to public health.
Jeg krævede allerede under forhandlingen i Europa-Parlamentet den 12. juni 1990, at alle kreaturbesætninger, der vár ramt af BSE, blev udryddet.
Some might say that the work of a such committee will produce new headlines in the press which have a damaging effect on consumption.
Min erfaring på grundlag af denne uendelige· historie er følgende: Det drejer sig her ikke alene om spørgsmålet om misinformation - det er snarere af underordnet art - men derimod om noget andet.
However, we already have experience of what happens when decisions are postponed or adopted in a half-hearted way.
Det drejer sig om, at der såvel i Kommissionen, Rådet og erhvervssammenslutningerne som i dele af Parlamentet var en vis mangel på forståelse og en manglende vilje til at prioritere forbrugerbeskyttelsen i forebyggelsesøjemed.
Moreover, the long incubation period of this disease and the dangers already recognized will ensure that the press will continue to be provided with headlines in the immediate future.
På den anden side har vi en hel økonomisk sektor, fra producenter til forarbejdningsindustrien og distributørerne, der er på fortvivlelsens rand, fordi hele dens overlevelse står på spil.
There must also be fair competition with other measures. Germany has now an nounced that it will not abide by the Commission's decision concerning the export of certain products from the United Kingdom.
Der er faktisk nogle regioner i Den Europæiske Union, Irland.
What does the Commission intend to do about this?
Skotland, Auvergnes højland i Frankrig og bjergområderne i Italien, for bare at nævne nogle få. hvor kvægproduktion udgør den dominerende, ja næsten eneste, menneskelige og økonomiske aktivitet.
What does it think about France's decision to ban the use of meatbased méal in cattle fodder? We need to have fair competition everywhere.
Dette skal naturligvis også ses på baggrund af de viden skabelige udtalelser, da de videnskabelige resultater jo koirl i små dråber, og vi har indtil videre ingen endegyldig vished.
For all these reasons, the European United Left will support the settingup of a committee of inquiry which focuses on the political decisions adopted, with a view to safeguarding the public interest.
For så vidt drejer det sig ikke kun om hr. Castilles notat, da man nemlig også dengang fra forskellig side selvtilfreds sagde til mig: Hvis det hele er så farligt, så er det bedst, at vi slet ikke taler om det!
I am coming to an end, Mr President. As Mr Fayot said, we wish to contribute to ensuring that the market is made subject to the laws of democracy and the need to protect public health.
Europa-Parlamentet, der siden 1988-90, har gjort Kommissionen og Rådet opmærksom på situationens alvor, er i dag i vrede, for vi mener, at de svar. vi har fået hidtil, er langt fra det, situationen kræver.
Puerta (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Mr President, this statement and debate were motivated by the revelation of the exist ence of the now infamous internal Commission note - or, if you like, note by a Commission official - concerning the disinformation strategy to be pursued with regard to the issue of mad cow disease.
Man får en fornemmelse af, at man fortsat behandler dette problem som et sektorproblem, mens det er hele funktionen i fællesskabsinstitutionerne, der står på spil.
However, the main problem is not the note, but the fact that at the same time, the inspection missions by the Office of Veterinary Control were suspended and the Commission failed to exercise its function as the initiator of legislation.
Det vil jeg gerne udtrykkeligt understrege og bifalde.
If legislation was necessary, it was during this period.
Men der har også været en række sløserier, som f.eks. den ikke rettidige gennemførelse af standarderne i forbindelse med destruktion.
If there was a need for inspections, it was never so acute as during this period.
Beslutningen fra 1990 skulle gennemføres inden december 1991, og De ved, hvad der hidtil er sket.
The Commission must explain the reasons for its lack of action during the period from 1990 to 1994.
Der er blevet talt om hr. Castilles notat. Vi er glade for, hr. formand, at De har foretaget en undersøgelse i Kommissionen, men det, De har fortalt os, er vi ikke tilfredse med. for en undersøgelse skal for at være troværdig have deltagelse af alle sagens parter.
Graefe zu Baringdorf (V). - (DE) Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, Commissioner Fischler, the BSE disaster is a chain of misconduct, political misjudgement, and failure to assume political responsibility.
Men så vidt jeg ved, har De ikke hørt forfatteren til notatet, hr. Castille, der i dag er på pension, men som i virkeligheden kunne have givet meget relevante oplysninger.
This is not a plague; it is a disaster brought about by mankind, namely by the British Government's decision to change the temperature and pressure at which animalbased meal was manufactured.
Men vi er overraskede over, at visse erklæringer fra Deres forgænger, hr. Delors, og også fra Kommissionens nuværende tals mand, har forsøgt at bringe forfatteren af dette notat i miskredit; hans formål var faktisk - det var ganske vist en klumme - at henlede opmærksomheden på alvoren i det problem, som kogalskabssagen allerede på dette tidspunkt udgjorde.
However, there was also a failure of judgement on the part of the Commission in thinking that this disease would not take on such proportions, but would gradually die out.
Men jeg siger også: Et undersøgelsesudvalg ville, så vidt jeg ved, slet ikke bringe noget nyt for dagen.
If we wish to avoid the word disinformation, we must talk about transparency, and it cannot be argued that the Commission's conduct has been transparent.
Det, der diskuteres med hensyn til benmel og overvågning, er oplysninger, som egentlig har været tilgængelige siden 1990, 1991 eller senest 1992 for enhver, der beskæftiger sig med det.
The scientific basis for lifting the ban on gelatine is unclear, and the Commission has not provided us with the information requested in paragraph 6 of Parliament's resolution of last June.
Et undersøgelsesudvalg ville muligvis medføre en ny overreaktion blandt forbrugerne og i medierne, hvilket i sidste instans ville resultere i, at de berørte landmænd endnu en gang måtte betale dyrt for sagen.
It is essential to compare the report submitted by the European Association of Gelatine Manufacturers, on which the Commission based its proposal for the partial lifting of the ban, with independent scientific opinions.
Jeg har derefter i mine arkiver fundet en artikel offentlig gjort under rubrikken »Sciences et Médecine« i den franske avis »Le Monde« fra den 30. maj 1990, som er samtidig med hr. Castilles notat, og hvor man ser. at to kvindelige professorer, den ene fra Landbohøjskolen i Maisons-Alfort. den anden fra Saint-Louis-hospitalet. allerede gjorde op mærksom på problemet med benmel og risikoen for smitte, som dette mel havde.
It is true that the Commission has now taken action - and I acknowledge Commissioner Fischler's consistent approach - but it has been an emergency response rather than a policy of prevention, because some two million infected animals had already entered the food chain before the Commission intervened.
Men-manmåtte vente helt til 1994, på at der blev vedtaget en lovgivning på europæisk niveau, der forbyder brug af dette mel.
Animalbased meal that was manufactured at temperatures too low to halt BSE infection is still in circulation, and animalbased meal is also continuing to be used as fodder while it is still unknown whether temperature can, in fact, halt the infection.
Derfor, hr. formand, anmoder vi Dem som konklusion på disse begivenheder, der er yderst foruroligende for os, om at påtage Dem Deres fulde ansvar. For det første, navnlig ved at iværksætte en intern undersøgelse, men med deltagelse af alle parter i sagen, for fuldt ud at belyse det, der er sket i 1990, og for at drage konsekvenserne heraf, herunder hvad angår det disciplinære og politiske, hvis nuværende eller tidligere kommissærer er involverede.
de Villiers (EDN). - (FR) Mr President of the Commission, Mr President of the European Parliament, ladies and gentlemen, for trie third time since 27 March, we are required to debate in plenary the problem of mad cow disease and its consequences.
Disse lige konkurrencevilkår gælder også for andre foranstaltninger.
not have needed a committee of inquiry.
Hvordan vil Kommissionens hold ning være hertil?
The problem is that you did not come clean.
Hvad mener Kommissionen om Frankrigs beslutning om at forbyde anvendelsen af dyremel i kvæg foder?
What is at issue now is not only a cure for this disease, but the reputation of the European Parliament and the reputation of European politics, which has been tarnished by all this sloppiness.
Lige konkurrencevilkår overalt.
That is what matters now, and that is what must be resolved.
For det andet ved sammen med medlemsstaterne at oprette en krisecelle for at sikre overholdelsen af de sundhedsregler, der på nuværende tidspunkt er foreskrevet, således at eksportforbuddet for britisk oksekød overholdes ligesom forbuddet mod hormoner.
In her speech on 27 March, my colleague Mrs Poisson read out an extract from Sir James Goldsmith's book, which was written in 1992, and in which all the evidence that BSE could be transmitted to humans was already described.
For vi ved, at kontrollen på medlemsstatsniveau også i denne sektor er utilfredsstillende. lende.
And Mrs Poisson asked the Commission a single question: what has the Commission done since 1990?
Puerta (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Hr. formand, denne redegørelse og denne debat skyldes et allerede famøst internt notat fra Kommissionen - eller, om man vil, fra en tjenestemand , i Kommissionen - om den misinformationsstrategi, man skal følge i forbindelse med kogalskabssagen.
The reply was unequivocal: your predecessor, Mr Delors, had said that the Commission was not well informed on the subject and could do nothing.
For det tredje ved at tage initiativ til en streng lovgivning vedrørende betingelserne for produktion og brug af benmel i dyrefoder med inspiration fra den restriktive lovgivning, som den franske regering lige har vedtaget.
On 3 June, my colleague Mr des Places made a call for genuine solidarity with cattle breeders, and for those responsible - in the cattle-feed manufacturing industry, in governments and in the Community institutions - to be identified.
For det fjerde ved at foreskrive en fælles lovgivning, der i hele Unionen gør identifikation af dyrekroppe obligatorisk for at gøre markedsføringskredsløbene mere gennemsigtige. tige.
And if we are unlucky and this disease proves to be transmissible to humans, we shall have to ask ourselves • why, even at this stage, we failed to draw the necessary conclusions.
Denne situation varede i fire år, hvor man registrerede næsten 75 % af de anmeldte tilfælde af BSE.
The question of a committee of inquiry is also a question of how rigorous future measures will be.
Hvis der har været risici, har det været i denne periode. Hvis der har været behov for lovgivning, har det været i denne periode.
What matters is not just that amends should be made for past errors, but that the House should use the powers it has recently acquired in relation to agriculture, and that it should be incorporated in the Treaties that the House can have its say and require you to take action if we believe it to be necessary.
Hvis der har været behov for inspektion, har behovet aldrig været mere presserende end i denne periode. Kommissionen bør forklare grundene, til sin mangel på handling i perioden 1990-1994.
That is what matters, and that is why our group is in favour of setting up the committee of inquiry.
For det femte ved at frigive de nødvendige finansielle midler dels til udryddelse af sygdommen og dels til at redde de forskellige led i kvægerhvervet.
The Commission's planned measures will cover only 20 % of the losses suffered by our cattle breeders.
Det er faktisk kun ved at genskabe forbrugernes tillid og ved fuldstændigt at lade loven om gennemsigtighed gælde, at man kan komme ud af krisen og ikke ved at blive ved at spille det spil, der består i, at Kommissionens ansvar sendes tilbage til medlemsstaterne og vice versa med det ene formål at berettige sin manglende handling.
In France, for example, losses in the beef and veal sector are currently in excess of FF 15 billion, but the planned compensation amounts to only FF 3 billion.
Hvis man vil undgå ordet misinformation, må man tale om gennemskuelighed, og man kan ikke påstå, at Kommissionen har haft en gennemskuelig holdning.
Lalumière (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, this week, Parliament will decide - or at least I hope so - to set up a committee of inquiry to shed light on certain aspects of the issue of socalled mad cow disease.
Det videnskabelige grundlag for at ophæve eksportforbudet for gelatine er ikke klart, og Kommissionen er ikke kommet med de oplysninger, dér blev krævet i punkt 6 i den beslutning, vi traf i juni måned.
For whatever the merits of your statement, Mr President of the Commission, there is a need for persons outside the Commission to carry out an investigation - and through a procedure in which both sides are heard.
Det er vigtigt, at rapporten fra den europæiske sammenslutning af gelatineproducenter, som Kommissionen brugte til at foreslå en delvis ophævelse af eksportforbudet, sammenholdes med uafhængige viden skabelige vurderinger.
When I lodged a complaint before the European Court of Justice, with the support of a cattle breeders' union, I was told: 'No, the Commission is not responsible; it did everything in its power'.
Hvis man har en fornemmelse af, at beslutningerne er baseret på oplysninger fra parter med interesse i sagen og ikke på uafhængige videnskabelige kriterier, og der ikke svares på Europa-Parlamentets anmodninger om oplysninger, så kan man ikke genoprette forbrugernes tillid.
However, in the now infamous internal Commission note of 12 October 1990 - which, as Mr Pasty has just told us, was forwarded to the Commissioners' office, so to the political authorities as it were - it is written in black and white: 'This issue must be played down by exercising a policy of disinformation'.
Mulder (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, det første mål, som Kommissionen skal have for øje, er at genoprette den europæiske forbrugers tillid til oksekød.
Today, Parliament is beginning to respond in the manner that is required.
Det kan ikke ske, hvis der fra tid til anden dukker dokumenter op, som kaster et forkert lys over Kommissionens stilling.
It was necessary for an internal Commission note of October 1990 - published by a number of newspapers - to reveal what are seemingly astonishing cases of negligence within the Commission for it to do so.
Jeg vil derfor gerne støtte, hvad forskellige andre mennesker allerede har sagt i denne debat: Der må hurtigst muligt komme intern kontrol og en intern rapport, som skal offentliggøres, for at der kan sættes en stopper for .alle rygter. Åbenhed er nødvendig.
This note reveals what is, to say the least, the inefficient organization of rules and practices within the Commission, and in the Commission's relations with the Member States.
