lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I will in any event stick to the time allocated to me. I would have thanked both rapporteurs, but I notice that neither of them is here. Their absence is an illustration of the fact that there is room for some improvement in Parliament’s working method. When we have a debate, we should have it without any interruptions. Sadly, that is how it is. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats supports the gist of the Figueiredo report, and particularly the costs and prevention for the control of animal diseases, as approved by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. Prevention must be improved, and there must be more control, but what is much more important, and far more effective, is to deploy the vaccine as a control product and preventive measure. For the rest, it is essential that we apply the same standards in Europe in terms of cofinancing under the motto ‘what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander’. I am in favour of a 50/50 split between the Commission and Member States, but in terms of Member State contributions, it should slowly become clear who is footing the bill: the Member States or, as is the case in some other Member States, the farmers. Clearly, these discrepancies are unacceptable. I welcome some of the points of the Parish report. I am pleased by the adoption of our and Mr Berman’s amendment, which states that, in the event of a serious threat of bird flu, the vaccine can be used as a preventive measure without this affecting the market position – and I would like to stress this, also looking at the Commissioner, without this affecting the market position. My group is delighted with this, because it is crucial that we should start to deploy animal disease control products more effectively. Non-vaccination policy has, in fact, run its course. In a world where markets are becoming more open, where people travel, it is no longer appropriate that vaccination should not be used effectively and, above all, that the use of vaccination should lead to restrictions on the market of the products. It is essential for us to go down this route in Europe. That is the only answer to controlling infectious animal diseases worldwide as much as possible and as effectively as possible. It has come to my notice that Mrs Figueiredo has now entered the Chamber. I would like to thank her again for the contribution to her report, and I shall thank Mr Parish in person."@en1
