"We have voted for the recommendation for the sole reason that it advocates some sensible measures, like, for example, ‘the positive definition of permissible feed materials’.
Even if the Council and the Commission were to end up accepting the amendments tabled, however, and at the moment they are rejecting them and dithering, that would not acquit the leaders of the European institutions of the massive responsibility for the propagation of BSE they incurred by refusing to take precautionary measures as soon as the threat represented by that endemic disease became tangible. That was not even mere negligence or carelessness, it was a deliberate choice, under pressure from the agrifood lobbies.
It is yet another tragic demonstration that the vocation of protecting the profits of capitalist groups is incompatible with effective defence of the interests of the majority of the population."@en1
