"Mr President, I should like to say very briefly that it was a great pleasure for me to vote for the amendments to the common position on food safety, for which Mr Whitehead was rapporteur. I wanted to express gratitude for his major efforts, for thanks to his work, we have managed to reach clear and sound agreements across the political divide, and that is why we are now where we are.
Today, we only adopted those amendments which met with complete approval by the Commission. In addition, agreements have already been concluded with the Council. This means that the Food Authority can become operational in 2002, which suggests that we are completely on schedule. In my view, we can safely say that this is thanks to effective cooperation, across all groups of this House. We have created a framework which should work. If the right people are now also deployed in the right places, and the Authority is accorded a location which will give it the opportunity of establishing external contacts easily, then I believe that all conditions are in place to turn this Food Authority into a success. It is now down to the Authority itself, and I wish it every success."@en1
