".
We consider it positive that the European Parliament has criticised the European Commission proposal seeking to amend the rules on the marketing of poultrymeat, only to authorise the marketing of such meat that has undergone anti-microbial treatment for human consumption.
In practice this European Commission proposal merely seeks to fulfil the USA’s request for the European Union to authorise the importation of its poultrymeat that has been treated with chemicals or anti-microbial substances.
The European Commission is therefore disregarding the precautionary principle and is disregarding the adoption and strengthening of the food safety and hygiene standards that already exist at EU level. These are much higher than those in the USA, which only uses a cheap end-of-line solution which it now wants the European Union to accept so that it can sell its produce throughout Europe.
We therefore hope that the Council will not accept the European Commission’s proposal."@en1
