"Madam President, food safety is one of the most serious responsibilities an executive body can dispense to its citizens. Although, in line with my group, I express deep reservations about granting a discharge in the absence of firm assurances from the Court of Auditors, the European Food Safety Agency is an EU body which I personally wholeheartedly endorse in principle.
Food is, by its very nature, transnational, travelling from the field, the ocean or an abattoir to the processing plant and eventually to our dinner plates. It does not respect national boundaries. When something goes horribly wrong, such as the outbreak of an infectious disease or poisoning or contamination of our foodstuffs, we need a well-run supranational organisation to identify the problem and enact the necessary measures to alert our national authorities and thus protect our consumers everywhere throughout the European Union."@en1
