"Mr President, I join in the compliments to the rapporteur for her dedication. Animal feed or, more appropriately, the ingredients used in its manufacture are understandably central to the regulations governing food safety and consumer protection. This Parliament and the Commission have certainly burnt the midnight oil putting in place controls which must eliminate for all time the reoccurrence of BSE or the dioxin scare, which has cost farmers and the food sector dearly and caused so much worry to consumers. We have learned an expensive lesson but one that marked an important turning-point in EU food production and one from which we can benefit in the long term. There is no place for dissidents in this new regime and those found in breach must be strongly disciplined. While it is not a time for apportioning blame for what has happened, I believe farmers were by and large innocent victims of sections of an unscrupulous animal-feed sector, some of which resorted to the use of sewage sludge as an ingredient in animal feed, while others continued to use illegal meat and bone meal."@en1
