In response to the supplementary question, let me say that the Commission does not know the exact reason why the number of BSE cases is still increasing in Spain and not in other Member States, with the exception of Portugal, as I mentioned earlier. Possible explanations, in addition to shortcomings in the implementation of the feed ban, are introduction of the removal of specified risk materials in Spain only at the end of 2000 and a higher than average exposure to infected meat and bone meal in the 1996-1998 period.
It should be stressed, however, that the Commission's Food and Veterinary Office has carried out missions in Spain in order to verify the correct implementation of the Community provisions with regard to the control and eradication of BSE in 2001 and 2002. Shortcomings are still being detected. Spain has also informed the Commission of a number of breaches of the feed ban detected in 2002. The number of breaches is very small and below the average in Member States."@en1
