"Mr President, I welcome the proposals to ban the production of mechanically recovered meat from all ruminant bones of all ages. In the UK at the moment, we have a ban on MRM from beef and also we do not have any animal going to the food chain over 30 months, but the problem is MRM beef coming in from other EU countries. As far as I know, there is no adequate test to make sure that they are BSE-free. So I welcome the ban.
With regard to the removal of the vertebral column, you have brought up the question: where should it take place, abattoir or at the point of sale? But is it really necessary? We must take into account the Scientific Steering Committee’s review, but surely if the spinal cord is removed adequately that should be enough. Whatever happens, all these safeguards must be monitored carefully.
I am pleased that there is going to be a monthly report from other EU countries as happens in the UK at the moment, but please bring in these measures quickly. Make sure they are properly in force and please learn from the UK’s past mistakes."@en1
