lpv:translated text	"I have always attached great importance to health and consumer protection. I should like to make two essential remarks on the points which I advocated in the parliamentary committee. The European Union's decisions must be consistent. In the interests of efficiency, it is therefore appropriate not to have a proliferation of regulations on the same subjects. In laying down provisions for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 already subjects animal by-products from slaughterhouses handling ruminants and cutting plants handling meat from ruminants to rigorous and controlled health rules. Consequently, to ensure consistency and the correct application of the rules, there is no reason to include these facilities in the scope of a second regulation with the same objectives. The European Union's decisions must also be possible to implement. In fact we already know that, because of treatment and disposal capacity (incineration or landfill), measures which have to be implemented at too short notice cannot be applied at Community level if they cover effluent – whether category 1 or category 2 – from wastewater treatment plants at slaughterhouses, which are often shared facilities. These shortcomings mainly came to light when the ban on animal meal in animal feed was imposed, forcing the Member States to store large quantities of animal meal while waiting for it to be incinerated. Adding several million tonnes of products to be disposed of or treated before processing would impose further constraints on storage because it is not possible to treat or incinerate them as required. And we know that storage can involve health and environmental risks. It is therefore necessary to put in place an adequate timetable allowing this to be managed at Community level in a way which is well thought-out, safe and respectful of the environment."@en1
