". Mr President, the Commission wishes to thank Mrs Paulsen for her support for this proposal and hopes that the compromise package discussed between the institutions will be accepted by Parliament. The Commission also notes with satisfaction the general support of this House for the package of proposals on zoonoses.
As you probably know there have been delicate discussions with the Member States on this regulation, its scope, the timetable for implementation and its financial dimension. I also understand that some of you have expressed concerns in relation to the use of antibiotics in animal production and the related risk of development of resistance to anti-microbials.
On 26 June 2001, the Commission adopted a Community strategy against anti-microbial resistance. This strategy comprises actions in all relevant sectors, including public health and the veterinary and phytosanitory sectors.
In March 2002, the Commission proposed the total ban of antibiotics used for growth promotion from 2006. The European Parliament is today expected to decide on this prohibition. I hope that it will support that date of 2006, as it is foreseen in the common position and, indeed, was included in the Commission's original proposal.
The Commission will also ask in the coming months for a European scientific evaluation of the use of antibiotics as medicines in the framework of salmonella control programmes, particularly in poultry. The Commission intends to take due account of scientific opinion in the actions to be taken. The regulation will be a well-balanced compromise. It will contribute to strengthening the Community approach to the control of salmonella and will certainly lead to a large decrease in the incidents of human salmonellosis."@en1
