lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am in favour of establishing this Authority as described in Mr Whitehead’s excellent report as soon as possible. It is to be hoped that we will then enjoy sound cooperation between the Union and the Member States. With regard to risk analysis and deciding what is and is not safe, we will have a better scientific basis for solutions. Inspections will then be monitored by the agency based in Dublin. What remains is the policy, which is what we have reserved for ourselves, and risk management, in which the European Commission and Parliament must join forces. There is a great deal yet to be done on that front. We must have clear European standards and European measuring methods. The Member States and the Union must have a common system that works. Crises have shown that that is not the case and that the Commission has far too little power on that score. I assume that we will get the Authority on track under the Belgian Presidency but, under that Presidency, we must also take a crucial step forward towards a truly common European policy on food safety."@en1
