lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I am grateful to the Commissioner for the opportunity to debate this important topic today. In my country, Germany, 900 holdings are affected by the Schmallenberg virus and the numbers are growing. Naturally there are also signs of fear in the public debate in relation to the agricultural sector, ranging from loss of income to complete loss of livelihood, as well as public health concerns. After all, it is not possible to offer a 100% guarantee that this virus will not affect humans. The European Food Safety Authority has already announced that it wishes to work closely with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in order to keep a close eye on the impact on public health. I believe that this is very important. A monitoring procedure does exist and has been simulated once by EFSA. We have just heard that eight Member States have been affected by this disease so far, and our fears are that the outbreak will spread as the flying insect population increases in spring and summer. A number of different scenarios have been identified. Can the Commission indicate precisely what steps it will take to combat the situations revealed in the simulation? Perhaps you are still at the analysis stage? This is a very important point. It is also important that the general public should see that steps are being taken to control this disease. I am aware that this is something new, and that we do not have specific means for combating this disease. Nonetheless, I would ask what steps is the Commission planning, or has it already taken to ensure that this disease does not spread to all 27 Member States? Eight countries are affected so far and we do not want to see the disease spread to all 27 Member States."@en1
