"Mr President, Commissioner, Parliament, the Council and the Commission have cooperated splendidly to make the prevention and control of encephalopathy in animals more effective. The Regulation under discussion will help in the harmonisation of the legal basis. The Regulation takes account of scientific development. BSE tests for sheep and goats will be introduced as soon as the testing methods exist.
The rapporteur is proposing two amendments. The first one deserves our strongest support, as it will provide even more protection, especially for those countries where there have been no cases of BSE as yet. The transport of animals is the main reason for the spread of animal diseases, which is why inspection has to be effective. Our group considers the second amendment to be unclear and for that reason does not support it, especially if the aim is to lower the age limit for BSE tests to animals which are 24 months old. This is not necessarily a sensible solution for all Member States. In saying this I certainly do not wish to oppose the proposal, if some Member States want to do this. Measures in the EU must, however, adapt to the BSE situation prevailing in Member States in compliance with the general policy contained in this Regulation."@en1
