"Mr President, Commissioner, after mad cow disease, bovine tuberculosis, foot-and-mouth disease and bluetongue virus we now have a new virus, the so-called Schmallenberg virus, which is starting to affect our livestock. The full scale of this disease will not be known for several weeks, until the lambing and calving seasons begin.
Several questions need to be asked. That is the reasoning behind our oral question.
What have you discussed, Commissioner, to prevent an embargo on our beef? Are there any plans to make resources available to speed up screening for this disease in order to try to slow it down or contain it?
It would also be appropriate, in my view, to create a European compensation fund for livestock farmers affected by this disease, in cooperation with each of the Member States.
Finally, do these health crises not pose new and serious questions about our agricultural systems, which are both increasingly concentrated and increasingly open to free trade, but, ultimately, are becoming increasingly fragile, and where, moreover, food and health security is increasingly being called into question?
This should be reflected within the discussion on the new reform of the common agricultural policy."@en1
