"Madam President, I should like to start by congratulating my honourable friend, Mrs Roth-Behrendt, on her exceptional work and to take this opportunity to hope that she will soon be well and back here with us, so that we can continue our very good cooperation.
I endorse, on behalf of my political group, all the compromise amendments which we prepared following discussion, except for two: Amendments 41 and 48. My political group cannot support these two amendments, because we believe that the ban on the use of animal proteins should remain, even for young ruminants, for two reasons. The first reason is because we must oppose cannibalistic phenomena; we are talking here of herbivores being fed animal proteins. The second reason is because we are not fully convinced that the risks of this specific diet being linked to the risks of spongiform encephalopathy have been eliminated.
I would remind you that years ago there was no established link between phenomena of spongiform encephalopathy and sheep and goats and yet recently we have had such cases, which are being carefully examined by the competent laboratory in the United Kingdom; for the moment the specialist scientists are not in a position to assure us that there is no such danger.
With my congratulations once again to the rapporteur and my warm personal wishes, that brings me to the end of my statement. We say yes, except for Amendments 41 and 48."@en1
