"I must distance myself, in part, from the explanations of vote given by some of my colleagues in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) in relation to Parliament’s decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Food Safety Authority for the financial year 2010. Indeed, I think that the role played by the European Food Safety Authority is extremely important for consumer health and that it should in no way be put at risk of any conflicts of interest that could arise in the event that the independence of its members is put in doubt. I cannot, therefore, vote in favour of the amendment to the motion for a resolution that removes the requirement for the Food Safety Authority to see a conflict of interest in the current or recent past participation of its management board, panel and working group members or staff in International Life Service Institute activities, such as taskforces, scientific committees or chairs for conferences. The independence of the members of the authority is a fundamental requirement for them to be able to act with the sole aim of protecting the health of EU citizens and that of citizens of third countries."@en1
