"This report on the health of honeybees and the production of honey in Europe is of particular importance not only for beekeeping enterprises in the Union, but also for all consumers of honey, for whom it is necessary to ensure that the product is safe and can be traced.
The proposed directive suggests taking actions to facilitate research and raise scientific awareness on preserving biodiversity of bees by means of effective and safe usage of veterinary products.
The beekeeping sector makes up an integral part of European agriculture and provides a primary or supplementary source of income for over 600 000 EU citizens. I welcome the establishment of an EU reference laboratory, but I would also underline the need to sustain diagnostic laboratories and field tests at national level.
I would point out to the Commission that this is an opportunity both to provide funding to laboratories that analyse the quality and security of apicultural products, and to communicate their findings all over Europe. While I welcome the Commission’s pilot surveillance programme on bee health, I would underline the need for further efforts to establish an appropriate surveillance system within the Union."@en1
