"It could be useful to the consumer to set up a European Food Authority to see to food safety at Union level. We agree with the principle.
Yet we would point out that unlike similar authorities in other countries, especially the United States, the European Food Authority will only have an advisory role and no power. What value can its recommendations have under these circumstances? I ask this, in particular, because a series of recent food scandals, from mad cow disease to dioxin in chickens, has shown that food safety and the quest for profit are a contradiction in terms. This means that the European Food Authority is liable to be a purely decorative body."@en1
