".
This report follows the Commission’s original proposal of December 2004, which had two objectives: to prolong the validity period of transitional measures and to establish rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, one of the key issues of which is the ban on feeding livestock on processed animal proteins.
The compromise adopted today establishes a series of rules regarding breeding programmes to select for resistance to TSEs or to export and import animal feed.
Nevertheless, despite the food and veterinary crises that have struck in recent years, and their impact on public and animal health, the interests of animal ration companies have taken precedence insofar as they have been granted derogations to the existing general ban; for example, such companies are allowed to use fish flour, and the Commission is allowed to grant partial derogation for certain types of animal such as young ruminants. We oppose this position, which, apart from the problems already mentioned, raise issues as regards the intensive, verticalised production development model so prevalent nowadays in agriculture and fisheries.
Hence our decision to abstain."@en1
