"Mr President, we are faced with a public health problem – an epidemic according to the Commissioner – and they have been looking for those culpable and not the cause.
The system has not worked: We have 22 dead, 1 600 affected and, three weeks later, we still do not know the cause and, using the precautionary principle without scientific basis – I repeat, without scientific basis – Spain is being blamed.
Ladies and gentlemen, Spanish cucumbers were not contaminated. They were not contaminated! I am repeating it because some versions to the contrary have been heard here. Moreover, so that you can see the impact that these words have had: 300 000 jobs may be affected; a loss of confidence.
An epidemic knows no frontiers. I am telling you, Commissioner: knows no frontiers!
We ask for responsibility for what has not been done, for what we have to do immediately, because there is a risk of further infection in Germany at the moment – it has the largest number of people affected – but Spain is not to blame. We ask for compensation."@en1
