"The prevention, combating and elimination of the transmission of spongiform encephalopathy is needed in order to protect public health and livestock. This is the way to safeguard consumer confidence in the food chain.
Outbreaks of BSE are declining; nonetheless, we must aim to put the crisis well and truly behind us by adapting to the new circumstances and taking preventive measures which make use of scientific studies and findings.
Today's report has several positive proposals in this direction. However, it does not avoid contradictions with certain amendments that leave the way open for the adoption of the use of animal proteins in ruminants, thereby negating the positive points of the report.
Double standards are also applied, allowing the exportation to third countries of certain processed animal proteins from non-ruminants, in order to save the costs of destruction, thereby using third countries for EU rubbish.
This way of thinking disregards and puts public health in third place, setting profits above all. This is also the main element of the capitalist system, which is why it is barbaric and inhumane. It is also dangerous for the food chain and the public health of the peoples. We have every reason to fight to overturn it."@en1
