lpv:translated text	". Madam President, I endorse the congratulations to the rapporteur on her good report and also on the good work she has done in this field for many years, and I wish her a speedy recovery. I would also like to deal with a subject that for years has been close to Mrs Roth-Behrendt’s heart. I am referring to the clarification in Article 7, which several speakers have already mentioned, that animal proteins should not be fed to adult ruminants. Cattle are vegetarians, and they only take in animal proteins when they are young, in the form of their mother’s milk. That really goes without saying. However, the BSE crisis showed us that this principle had been anything but self-evident for a long time. It is therefore all the more important, now that we are revising the basic BSE/TSE regulation, that we should underline the ethical principles of animal nutrition and stress that this is important for the protection of human and animal health and also from the point of view of the precautionary principle. At the end of 2004, on the rapporteur’s initiative, the European Parliament blocked a comitology decision to allow fishmeal to be used in feed. Since then, this question has again been very hotly debated in this House. It is repeatedly pointed out that there is no TSE risk from fishmeal. It is not for me to answer this scientific question and I have no wish to do so. We in the European Parliament simply do not want fishmeal or any other animal products in cattle feed. I can agree to the compromise in as much as it provides for the possibility in future of feeding fishmeal to young calves as a substitute for milk when they have just been separated from the mother cow. The strict conditions and controls are to be welcomed. Apart from that, I think we should have learned from the experiences with the BSE crisis and we should be sending a clear signal for more animal ethics and better health and animal protection."@en1
