lpv:translated text	"Mr President, no crisis in Europe, and especially in the Netherlands, has had such an impact on public opinion as the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. The great question is, and I do not know whether the Commission can answer it: what is the Commission’s explanation for the continued outbreaks of foot-and-mouth in the United Kingdom? In my view, it is not only a matter for the authorities in Great Britain itself. After all, every European taxpayer contributes to the solution of the crisis. Has the Commission urged Britain for example to use ring vaccination? I should have thought that the example in the Netherlands was very successful, and why could it not be repeated in other European countries? Another question. One of the reasons for the crisis is that meat was imported illegally into Europe. Controls on our outer borders were inadequate. My question to the Commission is: what has been done since on the outer borders? What has changed from, let us say, some six months ago? Why not implement a similar type of check as in the United States or in Australia, where there are strict controls on entry? I have not been able to find this anywhere in Europe. A further question. I believe that the large-scale slaughter of animals will no longer be acceptable to public opinion in the long run. The development of marker vaccines might be one of the solutions. The Commission has already done something about this, but will it do a little more to ensure that these marker vaccines and also the accompanying testing methods are made available as quickly as possible, so that we no longer have to slaughter so many animals? Finally I should like to know something about the costs. The situation in Great Britain is special, since the whole question of rebate is taken into consideration, but how much does the Commission estimate that this has cost up to now?"@en1
