lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, thank you for the current debate in relation to the disease in animals caused by what is being referred to as the Schmallenberg virus. According to scientists, the virus has much in common with the Akabane virus, which has been familiar for some time now in animals from Africa to Japan and Australia. The Akabane virus is harmless to humans, so that it can be assumed that the Schmallenberg virus likewise poses no threat to humans. The virus is a major danger to animals, however, and can cause enormous economic damage. Commissioner, we need to do all we can to halt the spread of this disease and perhaps even to eradicate it. In order to be able to take effective steps, there is an urgent need for mandatory reporting throughout the European Union, something that has already been agreed in Germany at federal level. As we have already heard, the virus is transmitted by biting insects and it is very difficult to protect animals from such sources of infection. Effective protection is actually only possible through the use of an appropriate vaccine. On behalf of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), I would call on the Commission to do all in its power to speed up the development of a corresponding vaccine, so that it becomes available as soon as possible. It is also important that the Commission should organise for this data to be recorded quickly, so that the relevant data is available and the necessary measures are implemented. It is also a matter for the Commission to achieve the lifting of the trade restrictions imposed by Russia on 20 March, as already called for. I have heard reports that, as well as Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, Algeria, Mexico and the US have already imposed initial trade restrictions. The faster we act, the sooner we can prevent the further spread of this disease and perhaps even eradicate it."@en1
