"Mr President, I should like to congratulate Mrs Paulsen, my colleague on many food safety deliberations, for the work she has done on these complex regulations. It is absolutely crucial that having set out the broad principles of a European food law and a food safety authority to act as the overall scrutineer of such proposals, the details are dealt with effectively and accurately. The zoonoses regulations to which Mrs Paulsen has devoted so much time are in a way the building blocks of the provision of an effective and precautionary food law for the future. It may seem rather over-elaborate to talk of them as building blocks, but they are an appropriate way to move forward. Some of us have reservations, perhaps, about the extension of these provisions, as they stand, to products of plant origin. An appropriate way to deal with is through the hygiene regulations and not in these additional monitoring provisions. There only I dissent slightly from what Mrs Patrie has said. Otherwise, I applaud her remarks also. I feel that, on the general detection and prevention of salmonella, the rapporteur is right to take us down this road as long as it can be implemented the length and breadth of the European Union. It is as necessary for food producers as for the general public. Without the restored confidence of the latter, there cannot be a secure future for the former. We want to have the increasing antibiotic resistance, which is being demonstrated at the moment in zoonotic organisms, accurately mapped. I do not agree with Mr Goodwill that there may be more harm than good in that. It is not a question of preventive medicine – it is of the other applications to which antibiotics are put, and wrongly, in my view."@en1
