lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, I think – and this is not because I am French – that we must put this Franco-British squabble behind us. We already had occasion to say so on Friday and I think that the work being done by the Agriculture Ministers shows that it is crucial to find a compromise that is acceptable to everyone and not only to us, the MEPs who are rather trailing behind the news, but especially to consumers. If there is a problem today and French specialists have recommended that this ban should not be lifted, this means that there are some serious questions to be asked. Personally I am trying to put myself in the shoes of consumers who must by now have an idea of the situation. On the one hand you have a French food safety agency which says that there are in fact risks, and on the other, experts who tell us unanimously that there is no problem at all. Personally, this raises serious questions in my mind. I have read in the press that there are only three prion specialists on the Scientific Committee. I therefore turn to you, Commissioner, in order to find out if these three prion specialists really abstained, in which case those who voted unanimously were not prion specialists and we would then be able to understand why the proposals, the compromises and the supplementary questions tabled by France have been accepted."@en1
