Min gruppe vil lade det afhænge af denne rapport, om den derefter vil støtte anmodningen om at oprette et undersøgelsesudvalg.
Quite rightly, the public wants to know, and it wants transparency.
Hvilken rolle spiller Kommissionen i koordineringen af alle de undersøgelser, som finder sted i øjeblikket i Europa, og hvilke finansielle konsekvenser vil det have?
We all know - from being familiar with the mysterious workings of the Commission - that such internal papers indicate the broad outlines of policy.
Man skal lære af erfaringen: Dereguleringen og ønsket om konkurrencedygtighed gennem intensivering har skabt dette problem.
I was Minister for Consumer Protection for three years, and I know very well that once consumer confidence has been lost, it cannot be restored unless consumers are convinced that they are dealing with competent, honest and impartial officials.
Erfaringen viser, at når beslutningerne er betinget af økonomiske eller endog politiske interesser, forværres konsekvenserne.
That is why stalling tactics used to delay inquiries or limit their scope are based on a complete misjudgement.
Før i tiden har vigtige beslutninger været betinget af gennemførelsen af det indre marked eller af et topmødes succes.
In conclusion, Mr President of the Commission, in the face of these failures to reply, you oblige me to assume my responsibilities.
Forbrugeren opfatter disse situationer, og man kan ikke forvente, at han eller hun genvinder tilliden med disse kendsgerninger, og endnu mindre med mistanken om, at visse beslutninger har ladet økonomiske interesser gå forud for den offentlige sundhed. Vi må ikke gentage tidligere fejltagelser.
Pursuant to Rule 34, entitled 'Motion of censure on the Commission', I shall therefore begin, this very afternoon, to collect the 60 signatures required, so that Parliament can vote on such a motion of censure at the September part-session.
En af de ting, som kunne hjælpe i den forbindelse, er indførelsen af et europæisk kvalitetskontrolmærke for oksekød.
If we wish to protect the wholesale and retail distribution networks, there must be effective supervision of the whole chain from producer to consumer.
I denne sag er der tale om interesser, begunstigede parter, skadede parter og økonomiske omkostninger, men frem for alt sundhedsrisici.
Of course, you will say that the Commissioners responsible are no longer the same.
Og der er også tale om ansvar. Efter Den Europæiske Venstrefløjs Fællesgruppes mening er det nød-
I would point out, however, that Commissioners are responsible for the actions of the Commission as a whole, and that if there was a breakdown in the operation of the Commission, then the College of Commissioners currently in office is responsible.
Puerta jelser på landbrugsområdet, som det ikke har haft i lang tid, og at vi også forankrer i traktaterne, at vi har et ord at skulle have sagt her og kan opfordre Dem til at gribe ind. hvis vi mener, at dette er nødvendigt.
The Europe of Nations Group will call for a parliamentary committee of inquiry to be set up, but Parliament must assume all its responsibilities...
Det drejer det sig om. og derfor går vor gruppe ind for, at dette undersøgelsesudvalg nedsættes. Og denne milde formulering, hr. Böge, som De anvendte for PPE-Gruppen - »Hvis I nu selv forsker, er vi indforstået med det« - er ikke Europa-Parlamentets hold ning.
(The President cut tlie speaker off) able to give us the information that the public had a right to know all along.
Vi skal gøre vor pligt, hr. Böge!
That is true not just in Britain but elsewhere as well, in Germany, Italy, France and so on.
Nogle vil mene, at undersøgelsesudvalget vil give anledning til nye overskrifter i pressen med skadelige virkninger for forbruget.
Therefore, we need to have a coherent European-wide ban to tackle this disease and that is why we are in the position we are in now.
Men vi har allerede erfaringer med, hvad der sker, når man udskyder beslutninger eller vedtager dem forsigtigt.
We need to have the plan in place and after that we can begin to tackle the question of consumer confidence.
I øvrigt vil den lange inkubationstid for disse sygdomme samt de risici, man har accepteret i fortiden, blive ved med at give anledning til avisoverskrifter i den nærmeste fremtid.
There is no point in lifting a ban if no one is going to buy the stuff anyway.
Lalumière (ARE). - (FR) Hr. formand, hr. kommissionsformand, i denne uge burde Parlamentet - det ønsker jeg i hvert tilfælde - beslutte, om der skulle nedsættes et undersøgelsesudvalg for at belyse visse aspekter af den såkaldte »kogalskabssag«.
At the political level, as long ago as September 1990, here in this Chamber, Mr Happart and I warned Commissioner MacSharry of the dangers, after we had spoken to all the international experts, including Mr Prisuner. On 11 June 1990, an issue of the National Front's newspaper carried the headline: 'The disease spreads to humans'.
For uanset hvor fortræffeligt Deres indlæg var, hr. kommissionsformand, er det nødvendigt, at personer uden for Kommissionen kan foretage nogle undersøgelser og med deltagelse afalle sagens-parter.
And indeed here, on 22 February 1996, Harno Diringer, the director of the Roch Institute in Berlin, said in the presence of Commission officials: 'I warn Europe's health authorities that BSE is spreading to humans'. It was impossible for you not to know!
Hr. formand, jeg vil slutte mit indlæg.
If, in this Parliament we have to have a committee of inquiry, that would be helpful.
Som hr. Fayot har sagt. ønsker vi at bidrage til, at markedet retter sig efter demokratiets love og respekterer forbrugernes sundhed.
The committee of inquiry, if it is set up, must be seen as a positive contribution to a European solution for this whole crisis.
I dag begynder Parlamentet at reagere på en passende måde.
You tell us: 'We have no motive. Why would we have done that?'
For at gøre dette, var det nødvendigt, at et internt notat fra Kommissionen fra oktober måned 1990. offentliggjort af flere aviser, afslørede forsømmelser, der tilsyneladende var overraskende for Kommissionen.
However, Mr Santer, if the public had known the truth in 1990, if, in 1992, it had known that free trade, the unrestrained pursuit of productivity, was resulting in contamination, it would not have accepted the GATT agree ments and the Maastricht Treaty.
Med rette ønsker of fentligheden at få noget at vide. og den ønsker gennemsigtighed. tighed.
And, in terms of the Vienna Treaty, you violated the people's right of consent.
BSE-katastrofen er en kæde· af ukorrekt adfærd, politiske fejlvurderinger og manglende overtagelse af det politiske ansvar. Dette er ingen svøbe, men derimod en menneskeskabt katastrofe, nemlig som følge af den britiske regerings beslutning om at ændre temperaturen og trykket ved fremstillingen af kødmel.
But first of all may I, contrary to some of my colleagues, thank the President of the Commission for his statement, thank him for the work that the Commission has been doing and is doing at the moment in trying to deal with the many problems that have arisen as a result of this whole beef crisis.
Men der var også tale om en fejlvurdering fra Kommissionens side, som mente, at denne sygdom ikke ville antage et sådant omfang, men derimod langsomt dø ud.
We should be encouraged by the fact that the issue is back where it belongs, that is at scientific and at veterinary level.
Jeg har i tre-år været forbrugerminister.
Naturally, we agree with Mr de Villiers.
Jeg ved udmærket, at en forbruger, der har mistet tilliden, kun vil få den igen. hvis han er overbevist om, at han står over for kompetente, oprigtige og upartiske ansvarlige mennesker.
It is not a question of setting up a committee of inquiry, but of the Commission assuming its political responsibilities.
Derfor er de henholdende midler, der bruges til at forsinke undersøgelserne eller begrænse omfanget, baseret på en helt forkert beregning.
In other times, his tory's great poisoners suffered a different fate.
Hvis man vil forsvare produktionen og især kvalitetsproduktionen der. hvor dyrene lever af græs eller korn. er det nødvendigt med gennemsigtighed, mærkning af dyrenes oprindelse, kvalitetsstempel og kontrol, der udføres af tjenester, der er uafhængige af landbrugskredse, og som repræsenterer forbrugerne.
Many Members may be interested to hear what is actually happening at the moment and to note that nearly a quarter of a million cattle under the 30 months scheme have been slaughtered since the scheme began, a quarter of a million cattle, and they are still moving at the rate of 30 000 per week.
Hvis man ønsker at forsvare distributionskredsløbene, grossisterne og detailhandlerne, må man effektivt kunne kontrollere hele kæden mellem producent og forbruger.
In addition every effort is being made to carry out a selected cull among the dairy herds that have suffered from BSE.
Det drejer sig i dag ikke kun om opklaring af denne sygdom, men derimod også om Euro paparlamentets omdømme og om den europæiske politiks omdømme, som har fået et dårligt ry som følge af dette sløseri. Det drejer sig om, at Europa-Parlamentet i sin konsekvente holdning ikke slås i hartkorn med en Kom mission, som ikke erkendte de nødvendige signaler og stolede på videnskabsfolk, som bagatelliserede det. samt tog del i bagatelliseringsstrategien. Det er det. som det drejer sig om i dag, og det er det, der skal opklares!
We must all be worried that the Commission was so concerned about the reports of the disease's existence that apparently it decided to deny it altogether.
de Villiers (EDN). - (FR) Hr. kommissionsformand, hr. parlamentsformand, kære kolleger, for tredje gang siden den 27. marts bliver vi foranlediget til i plenum at tale om problemet med kogalskab og følgerne heraf.
The fact that such action has been taken, together with the quite substantial reinforcement of existing legislation on the composition of feed and the exclusion of any tissues that may be contaminated, should start to satisfy customers, should restore confidence amongst consumers, that beef is as safe from infection as many other foods we consume.
Og hvis vi ikke har heldet med os, og denne' sygdom overføres til mennesker, vil man spørge os om, hvorfor vi i det mindste ikke på dette tidspunkt har taget de nødvendige konsekvenser.
On the other hand, I have to say that although it might be in the interests of some people in the Community to blame the Commission for this, it has actually had a very good record by comparison, for example, with the behaviour of the British Government, which has been trying to sit on information on BSE for at least as long.
Spørgsmålet om undersøgelsesudvalget er også et spørgsmål om konsekvente foranstaltninger til fremtiden.
It also had the information pointed out to it at that time and managed to keep it out of the public domain.
Det drejer sig ikke kun om et opgør med fortiden, men også om, at Parlamentet udnytter sine befø
Even when the pressure for information became overwhelming on 20 March 1996 and every newspaper, television station and radio programme in Europe carried news of nothing else, the British Government never showed any signs of being willing or
I sit indlæg den 27. marts læste min kollega, Christine Poisson, et uddrag af hr. Jimmy Goldsmiths bog skrevet i 1992, hvori alle afsløringerne vedrørende problemet med overførsel til mennesker af sygdommen kogalskab allerede var beskrevet. Og Christine Poisson stillede et spørgsmål, et eneste, til Kommissionen: Hvad har Kommissionen gjort siden 1990?
Irrespective of this of course we have seen - and reference has been made to this by almost every speaker - that assertions on the existence of an internal Commission paper from October 1990, referring to existing health risks concerning BSE, appeared in the media of several Member States, as well as reports on illegal exports of beef from the United Kingdom.
Svaret var klart: Deres forgænger, hr. Delors,
The President of the Commission has given us a very firm answer from the Commission on these
Nr. 4-486/43 de Villiers erklærede, at Kommissionen ikke var orienteret, og at den ikke kunne gøre noget.
No 4-486/43
overføres til mennesker«. Det kunne De ikke være uvidende om!
Plumb, The Lord two points, and therefore I would not wish to dwell on them.
Så siger De til os: »Jeg hár ingen bevæggrund, hvorfor ville vi have gjort det?« Men, hr. Santer, hvis befolkningerne havde kendt sandheden i 1990 og hvis de i 1992 havde vidst, at frihandel og ultraproduktivisme smitter, ville de ikke have accepteret GATT og Maastrichttraktaten.
Belleré (NI). - (IT) Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, dura lex sed lex. When it comes to tackling a disaster such as the BSE crisis which has afflicted the United Kingdom, especially when this disaster affects a community as large as Europe, one must disregard one's own interests and be resolute, mature and worthy of living in a civil and democratic environment, especially when that community - in a spirit of cooperation - has attempted to assist the Member State concerned, albeit somewhat late in the day.
Der er Deres bevæggrund.
That has not been and is not the case.
De opnåede ratificering af Maastricht traktaten ved at forvanske befolkningernes samtykke.
This question received an evasive and untruthful reply from Commissioner Fischler. ler.
For eksempel er tabene i kvægerhvervet i Frankrig i dag over 15 milliarder francs og kompensationerne beløber sig kun til 3 milliarder francs. Hvem skal betale forskellen?
So I would like to thank the Commission for doing all in their power to show financial solidarity with farmers, particularly those farmers who have been hardest hit by this crisis.
Da jeg selv indbragte klagen for De Europæiske Fælles skabers Domstol med støtte fra en producentfagforening, svarede man mig: Nej, Kommissionen er ikke ansvarlig, den har gjort alt, hvad der var i dens magt.
I would like, if I may, to thank Commissioner Fischler for his contribution and in particular, if I may say so on a more personal basis, for his contribution at our Royal Agricultural Show a few weeks ago, when he was able to meet many farmers and was able ' in meeting them to restore some confidence among them about what the Commission was doing.
På andre tidspunkter, hr. kommissionsformand, led de store folkeforførere i menneskehedens historie en anden skæbne.
The lack of proper information - as stated'in an internal, not to say secret Commission document, which concluded that the problem should not be aggravated - and the lack of controls are fuelling doubt and suspicion.
Men i et internt notat, der fremover er selvskrevet til berømmelse, fra Kommissionen, som, hr. Pasty lige har fortalt os, er nået frem til kabinettet, altså på en eller anden måde til den politiske instans, fra den 12. oktober-1990, står det sort på hvidt: »Denne sag må neddysses ved udøvelse af misinformation«.
I would point out that the worldwide embargo on British beef is being circumvented by illegal, clandestine exports of beef from that country and, furthermore, that Parliament is still awaiting the outcome of the Commission's inquiry into these accusations. All these accusations create a climate of distrust in the public authorities whose duty it is to regularize this immensely difficult situation, which is affecting all of us and not just the Member State most directly concerned.
For lidt siden svarede De os, hr. Santer, at det kun drejede sig om et internt skriftligt notat fra en pensioneret embedsmand, og at Kommissionens akter viser det modsatte.
The additional intervention measures which have been taken are helpful, and the funding of research is crucial. Indeed, if scientists could find a foolproof test to diagnose the disease, then it would be a major breakthrough in animal science.
Nej, hr. formand, det drejer sig ikke om et uskadeligt notat.
Perhaps I might ask Mr Fischler if there is any progress made in this direction.
Vi ved alle her - da vi kender Kommissionens hemmeligheder - at disse interne notater kommer med de overordnede retningslinjer.
I support also those who call for a European quality assurance scheme on beef and I support the call for the full identification of all animals.
Kenneth Collins (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg ved ikke, hvorfor jeg altid skal trække det korteste strå og være nødt til at tale efter indlæg som disse - men sådan er det nu engang.
Watson (ELDR). - Mr President, I have followed this matter since March of this year. I represent the biggestv
Jeg har været her siden' 1988, og i alt den tid har jeg forsøgt at få både Kommissionen og parlamentsmedlemmerne til at tage BSE-truslen alvorligt.
Colino Salamanca (PSE). - (ES) Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, firstly, I should like to say that we welcome this morning's statement.
Vi må alle være bekymrede over, at Kommissionen var så foruroliget over meddelelserne om sygdommens forekomst, at den åbenbart valgte at fornægte den fuldstændig.
With the benefit of hindsight, however, I believe that it is clear that the Commission's approach should not be imitated in the management of this issue.
Men hvad der er vigtigere, har vi fået at vide, at man et eller andet sted i Kommissionen besluttede at holde alle oplysninger væk fra offentlighedens kendskab eller så langt væk fra offentlig hedens kendskab som muligt.
The public has the impression that we have continually been dragged along by events, and certain information seems to confirm this - in particular, · the note from the Consumer Policy Service which we are now discussing.
Natudigvis vil man fortælle mig, at de ansvarlige kommissærer ikke længere er de samme, men jeg vil gerne understrege, at kommissærerne er ansvarlige for Forretningsudvalgets handlinger, og at, hvis der har været for sømmelse i Kommissionens funktion, er det fungerende kommissærkollegium således ansvarligt herfor.
To suggest that not talking about BSE would prevent unfavourable market reactions is quite simply to show contempt for Europe's citizens. To ask the United Kingdom officially not to publish the results of its research, or to implement a policy of disinformation with regard to BSE, is quite simply to commit an act of madness mat is totally out of place in the community based on the rule of law which is the European Union.
Gruppen Nationernes Europa vil anmode om, at der ned sættes et undersøgelsesudvalg i Europa-Parlamentet, men Parlamentet må påtage sig hele sit ansvar...
But on the overall issue and the question of the cover-up, we need to take a wider view.
Den havde også fået forelagt oplysningerne på det tidspunkt, og det lykkedes den at holde dem uden for offentlighedens kendskab.
Our failure to act at the first warning signs meant that the problem became worse.
Det gælder ikke kun i Storbritannien, men også andre steder, i Tyskland, Italien, Frankrig osv.
But clearly there is substantial public concern and that public worry has been affecting us all.
Vi skal have planen på plads, og derefter kan vi begynde at tage fat på spørgsmålet om forbrugernes tillid.
We can express our regret at the situation in the beef and veal sector, the growth of stocks by 600 000 tonnes and the 11 % fall in consumption.
Det tjener intet formål at ophæve et forbud, hvis der alligevel ikke er nogen, som vil købe varerne.
However, any measures taken will be useless if consumers believe that they are being deceived by the Community authorities.
Martinez (NI). - (FR) Hr. formand, kommissærer, De anklages for en alvorlig forseelse.
Whoever drew up this note considered that market imperatives were more important than public health.
Problemet, hr. Santer, er ikke det.
The disinformation measures have
De ikke gjorde inden og med fuld kendskab til tingene.
Measures have been put in place to eradicate the disease.
Politisk advarede José Happart og jeg allerede i september 1990 her hr. MacSharry efter at have interviewet alle de lærde i verden, herunder hr. Prisuner.
But what some people have still not realized is that this is truly a European problem.
Hvis vi i Parlamentet skal have et undersøgelsesudvalg, vil det være hensigtsmæssigt.
Yes, let us have an internal inquiry in the Commission. That is surely only proper.
Men vi skal være varsomme med, at
But let us not blow up the problem, let us clear it up.
Kenneth Collins udvalget ikke udvikler sig til en eller anden form for klapjagt.
Colino Salamanca only served to aggravate the problem.
Det skal være et seriøst undersøgelsesudvalg og ikke blot et forsøg på at give andre personer eller institutioner skylden for det, der synes at være en i hovedsagen britisk sygdom. Undersøgelsesudvalget skal, hvis det ned sættes, betragtes som et positivt bidrag til en europæiske løsning på hele denne krise.
The only thing which can truly restore balance to the markets is the confidence of consumers in the fact that those markets are governed by specific rules, and that the products - beef or otherwise -are not harmful or dangerous to public health.
solidaritet med landmændene, navnlig de landmænd, som er blevet ramt hårdest af denne krise.
The content of the note in question amounts to turning immorality into a commercial rule.
For hvis videnskaben kunne finde en absolut sikker test til at diagnosticere sygdommen, vil det være et betydningsfuldt gennembrud inden for dyrevidenskaben.
Mr Pasty said that perhaps we did not conduct an inquiry in which both sides were heard.
Jeg må måske spørge hr. Fischler, om der er gjort fremskridt i denne retning.
However, I should like to draw the honourable Member's attention to the fact that it was the chairman of the BSE interdepartmental working party who, on our instructions, carried out the inquiry.
Han vil måske også sige noget om, hvilke destruktionsfaciliteter der er til rådighed, eftersom mange af produkterne for øjeblikket bringes i fryserum.
His investigations led him to contact directly the author of the document, the persons to whom it was addressed, colleagues in the Consumer Policy Service and DG VI, as well as former staff of the private office.
Jeg støtter også dem, der kræver en europæisk kvalitetssikringsordning for oksekød, og jeg støtter kravet om, at alle dyr skal kunne identificeres fuldt ud.
My statement was based, therefore, on the results of the inquiry carried out by the chairman of the BSE interdepartmental working party, on our instructions.
Lord Plumb (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, det er ikke så tit, jeg trækker det korteste strå sammen med min kollega, Ken Collins, men efter den tidligere taler modsiger jeg ikke kun ham, jeg modsiger også nogle af de bemærkninger, Ken Collins fremsatte.
Santer, President of the Commission. - (FR) Mr President, very briefly, I should like to respond to a number of the speeches which have been made and first of all to thank those who took part in the debate, since even if their remarks were highly contentious, they at least had the merit of making clear Parliament's current feelings.
Vi bør glæde os over, at spørgsmålet igen er der, hvor det hører hjemme, dvs. på videnskabeligt og veterinært plan.
Commissioner Fischler will answer shortly on the more specific aspects of this issue.
Watson (ELDR). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg har fulgt denne sag siden marts i år.
It will therefore be clear to the House that we desire transparency.
Jeg repræsenterer den valgkreds i England, der har den største oksekødsproduktion, og det område, der har det største antal BSE-tilfælde.
Nobody has anything to gain from a lack of transparency in this matter.
Jeg spørger undertiden mig sely, om en overdreven fokusering på detaljerne ikke gør vore hjerner »svampede«. Vi skal klart have en streng kontrol med eksporten af kød og kødprodukter fra Det Forenede Kongerige.
Mr Fayot was right to call for openness and to say that it is the credibility not only of the Commission, but of all the Community institutions which is at stake.
Det er altovervejende sandsynligt, at noget har været undervejs på det tidspunkt, hvor forbuddet blev indført, måske til tredjelande, og måske er sluppet for denne kontrol.
As a result, it is in all our interests - Parliament and the Commission - that there should be as much transparency as possible on this issue, in which the Commission genuinely has nothing to hide.
