"Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) are a family of diseases occurring in humans and animals, characterised by a degeneration of brain tissue resulting in a sponge-like appearance and leading to death. In response to the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic, a regulation of the European Parliament and the Council, known as the ‘TSE Regulation’, was adopted in the EU, laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain spongiform encephalopathies. The regulation first introduced a unified legal basis for the control and prevention of TSE and BSE. The regulation consolidated all previous EU legislation in the area of TSE. It has been amended several times since it was introduced, and a number of supplementary measures have been added with the aim of further eradicating, controlling and monitoring TSE. In addition to this, there are other measures contributing to a comprehensive safety and surveillance regime for managing TSE. In my opinion, it is essential that consumer protection, animal health and TSE eradication remain the chief objectives and the top priorities when considering any changes to current legislation, and we must also continue the close monitoring of developments in the TSE family of diseases, in case of a repeat TSE or BSE outbreak. It is also essential to promote research in these areas, where our knowledge is still incomplete. Only in this way will it be possible to adopt well-founded policy decisions in the future."@en1
