". The Commission and the Council of the European Union have a great deal to answer for as regards the proportions which the issue of BSE has assumed. Apart from the negativity which they demonstrated during the first stage, when the European Parliament called attention to the risks in Great Britain, action during the second stage, when the crisis was at its height in Great Britain, was basically limited to that country, and there was no immediate programme of strict controls or attempt to restructure animal feedingstuffs at pan-European level. Cases of BSE have been identified in France because it was the only country in the European Union which took the initiative to apply a system of extensive controls. Today, complete uncertainty reigns in a climate of anxiety as to the risks in store, and neither consumers nor government authorities have any information on them. We must immediately: take measures at pan-European level introduce extensive and strict controls on all European Union herds and imports remove meat-and-bone meal from animal feedingstuffs, not just for cattle and sheep but also for pigs, poultry and fish take measures, by completely restructuring animal feedingstuffs, to ensure that genetically modified soya flour from the USA, Brazil and elsewhere cannot infiltrate the system until scientists have given a full guarantee, which they have yet to do."@en1
