lpv:translated text	". The only power the European Food Safety Agency will have is to conduct the scientific analysis of food risks, but not the political management of these risks. We must certainly restrict its powers. In any case, we would have preferred an "agency". In charge, in the long term, of running the Rapid Alert System (RAS), which collects the information held by the Member States or the European Commission, it will in due course be responsible for coordinating the national agencies. We distrust this term, which suggests the perfect little bureaucrat, with the authority handing down orders to harmonise. Is it not the intention, in due course, to entrust the authority with managing the food safety aspect of the RAS? That is why I abstained. For my part, in France, I do not need an authority in order to restore my confidence; I trust the French Food Safety Agency and its opinions, especially in relation to mad cow disease. We voted for Amendment No 15 because we are very strongly committed to defending the European cultural heritage in relation to locally produced food. However, we fear that the stated means of ensuring the protection of locally produced food would be counterproductive. For are licensing and product certification not in fact a way of circumventing the principle set out at the beginning of recital I? Small local producers will be unable to gain access because this certification is so cumbersome, complex and costly. We voted against Amendment No 7 because it would mean, even now, going beyond the field of risk assessment and encompassing risk management. It is not up to the authority to advise the states to adopt this or that type of control procedure. That is outside its remit."@en1
