"I welcomed this document because in 1997-1998, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) reached epidemic proportions in the EU due to cattle being fed with BSE contaminated processed animal proteins (PAP). In reaction to the BSE epidemic in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) was adopted and established for the first time in a uniform legal basis for the control and prevention of TSE and BSE. The regulation consolidated all previous EU legislation governing TSE. It has been amended several times since its introduction and several additional measures have been amended or introduced to further eradicate, control and monitor the spread of TSE. In addition, other measures contribute to a comprehensive safety and surveillance regime governing TSE. The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council entitled ‘The TSE Road Map 2: a strategy paper on Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies for 2010-2015’ was published on 16 July 2010 and was welcomed by the European Parliament. However, the European Parliament underlines the importance of ensuring that the significant decline in BSE cases in the European Union does not lead to less stringent TSE measures or to a reduction in the strict control and surveillance mechanisms in the EU and takes note of the contribution of past and current TSE legislation to the eradication of TSE in the EU."@en1
