".
The epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease is over but we must not forget that it has taken a heavy toll on the sectors concerned and on a number of other rural activities, which are still facing the consequences of this crisis today: lack of consumer confidence, failure to win back lost external markets and a subsequent fall in prices on the internal markets.
The crisis has
revealed
the importance of an integration policy both to integrate the upstream and downstream sectors and to provide effective public services at local level.
Despite reservations on a number of points, we endorse this report because it recommends the use of vaccination, supporting research in developing tools to combat diseases and effective marker vaccines, increasing health and border controls and adapting programmes combating diseases in order to preserve gene pools. Indeed, there must be specific measures for wildlife, game and all rare breeds. It would be unacceptable for such a huge-scale culling of animals to occur again in the future. However, preventive and combative measures will not be fully effective without a clear compensation policy and better consumer information."@en1
