"I am against asking the Commission, as the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe want to do, to reconsider the ban on the feeding of meat and bone meal derived from non-ruminants. That ban needs to remain in place for two reasons. First of all, the ban was not imposed for nothing; it was introduced to stop the BSE crisis. We know that we would be taking a certain risk if we were to lift this ban. I do not want that to happen. I am much more in favour of food safety for consumers: not taking a risk when you do not know how big it is and what impact it could have. Secondly, we have seen in recent years that viruses that occur in living animals can rapidly mutate. If we were to lift the ban on the feeding of meat and bone meal derived from non-ruminants, we would risk encouraging this process of virus mutation. We must not do that."@en1
