"The 1990s and 2000 were marked by the health scandal of mad cow disease. Whilst animal meal has been clearly identified as being at the origin of this disease, a majority of MEPs have voted in favour of the partial lifting of the ban on animal meal in Europe. As we know, given the devastating effects of this meal, this is extraordinary. I therefore voted against this report as, although the epidemic has all but disappeared, a great number of unknowns remain. There are other viable solutions and it would have been preferable to prioritise these, rather than reviving old formulas that have already caused so much damage. Do we wish to align ourselves with practices which have demonstrated in the past how dangerous they can be, or shall we commit to defending common sense and a European agricultural model that guarantees consumer safety? Together with the other members of the Democratic Movement, I therefore voted against this report to reaffirm my view that there should be no compromise on food safety and health."@en1
