"Mr President, I thank the Commissioner for his reply and I take note of the fact that, from a legislative point of view, the Commission has made considerable progress since 1997.
I would like to ask a supplementary question, as a result of the perplexity expressed by my constituents at the horrendous errors and contradictions of the Spanish authorities. Specifically, a regional Agricultural Minister has ordered that dead cows be deposited in an open mine. There have been statements from one minister saying one thing while another minister says the opposite. At least in Germany ministers have resigned. My question is: apart from legislative measures, does the Commission intend to take executive measures in relation to the Member States? Will the Commission exercise a greater presence in our States in order to offer the citizens guarantees? Has the Commission at any point considered employing infringement proceedings, by means of a letter of infringement, so that the Community citizens may realise that the Commission it truly fighting for their safety and health?"@en1
