"Mr President, I should like to briefly raise three points on the current situation concerning cucumbers.
I am the grandson of a German and feel deep affection for that country, but the German authorities have clearly acted hastily and rashly in this particular case.
As for the EU institutions, an analysis of their actions reveals that the European Food Safety Authority and the Commission reacted feebly and clumsily. They have failed to coordinate or to manage the situation.
Thirdly, the injured parties are entitled to rapid financial compensation. In the meantime, however, I propose to Parliament that we hold a great show of European gastronomy either in Brussels or here in Strasbourg, allowing cucumber to take centre stage.
We must vindicate the lost honour – an expression much to the taste of the German author Heinrich Böll – of cucumber producers. Europe is the right stage for this purpose."@en1
