lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the recommendations under discussion today put forward by my colleague, Mrs Paulsen, are a continuation of the important work she has been so very commendably involved in as Parliament’s rapporteur regarding updating the legislation on food safety. We have been able to respond to food crises in the current parliamentary term in a way that has been both consistent and wide-ranging. Our common goal is to restore complete consumer confidence and levels of safety. I would like to say that I agree with the view expressed just now by Mr Pesälä regarding Amendment No 15. The traditional, common sense way in which catering waste is used for feeding has for the present unfortunately proved problematic as a result of inadequacies in the processing of feed. Serious animal diseases have thus been able to spread. For that reason Parliament now requires the Commission to promptly submit a legislative proposal banning the use of catering waste of animal origin as feed and obliging Member States to provide proof of its safe disposal. As an exception, the production of feed from catering waste could be permitted if it has been properly sterilised in an officially authorised plant. Parliament can also feel pleased with how the codecision procedure works and the cooperation established with the Council in the area of food safety. That is why it is unfortunate that the most prominent element in publicising the work to improve food safety, the establishment of a new Food Safety Authority, has proved such a difficult task in the Council and that the agency is commencing its work in a temporary location. This is also likely to hamper the recruitment of qualified staff for the agency. In this respect the Council should be capable of making the right decisions swiftly and showing consumers that the long-term work done to guarantee the supply of safe food is more important that seeking to obtain short-term benefits for individual countries in the Council."@en1
