Almost a year ago, the first reading of the amendments to the directive on vaccinating against bluetongue took place in the European Parliament. The aim was to be able to apply the new regulations in the 2011 vaccination season. The delays in dealing with this issue in the Council have resulted in it only being possible to introduce the proposed changes during the 2012 vaccination season at the earliest. The agreement that we have now reached is entirely due to the European Parliament’s willingness to compromise. The fact that the Council only blocked the adoption of the amendment because there was a demand for correlation tables to provide proof that the amendment had been implemented in national regulations is both regrettable and negligent. Because of Parliament’s readiness to compromise, bluetongue has been successfully combated and the interests of farmers have been protected. I am now calling on the Member States to begin implementing the new regulations as quickly as possible. Preventive vaccination without the undesirable risk of the virus used in the vaccine coming into circulation will prevent farmers from suffering losses and put an end to restrictions on trade. The amendment to the directive highlights the paradigm shift in the European animal health strategy, which has moved from culling to vaccination."@en1
