"Commissioner, your explanation to Mrs Smet is not satisfactory to me. The crisis has been going on since September. The German Agriculture Minister has known since 21 May. This is now almost three weeks ago. We worked together on the regulation concerning the European Food Safety Authority. This is the first test for this regulation. And what does Article 53 of this regulation state? That when a serious risk to the health of the public, animals or the environment is established, the Commission must, or can, take a number of measures without delay. This includes, for example, the suspension of introducing products onto the market. You have failed to do this, you have reassured us, while I have been given some information that tells me that somewhere, I do not know where, there is 100 tonnes of contaminated wheat. You claim that there is only one source. You have the information that there is only one source, while the contamination has been in progress since September, and while we all know that this warehouse in Vorpommern has been in use since October. So you are not convincing me. I really have the feeling here that a large Member State has been given preferential treatment compared to a small Member State like mine."@en1
