lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I feel very pleased today and grateful both towards the Commission, for having embarked upon the work on better food safety, and towards Mr Bowis and the whole of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy. I am grateful for the constructive cooperation we have had and for the willingness to compromise that has been shown for the purpose of producing a good report. We are now hoping for Parliament’s support, and we hope that the Council and the Commission will accept our proposals. Together with the bureau responsible for food and veterinary issues, other scientific bodies and national authorities, the food authority must create a comprehensive system. Just as Mrs Paulsen said, all Member States and all companies, many of which are multinational, must comply with the legislation. If they do not, there must be a system of sanctions at EU level. I therefore want to discuss Amendment No 16. When food safety is threatened, both public health and the common market are placed in jeopardy. We must consequently make such changes to the EU Treaty as to ensure that the Commission is given the option of imposing sanctions in the area of food, just as it has at present in the area of competition. The food authority ought to be able to propose suitable measures to the Commission in this connection."@en1
