"Mr President, I would like to agree with all of my colleagues in thanking Ms Borzan for this report. She chose a very challenging subject for a word-limited own initiative report but I think she has done a terrific job. And, for the record, having followed two British Members, both happened to be ladies this time, I would like to say that I think it is entirely not the case that this is not of use to all of us. It is extremely useful to share best practice, it is extremely useful to share benchmarking, not to repeat the reinventing of the wheel across 28 Member States. What is wrong with that? I think it is a terrifically good idea and there are lots of ideas in here. I compare it for example with a House of Commons report from the UK and so many of the things are along the same lines – similar thinking, the gathering of data, the use of data. It is all terribly important and I think this report really does a great job in bringing all of those threads together.
I would just like to welcome very much what the Commissioner said about rethinking within the Commission on animal feed. I recognise why every time I meet somebody over about 70 they talk to me about how food used to be collected to be fed to pigs and chickens, etc. and I try painstakingly to explain to them why, for public health reasons, that had to be stopped. And they always kind of look at you a little bit blankly because clearly the use of food waste in animal feed would be a good move forward. So thank you, Commissioner, I really welcome your thoughts that that is being rethought through, because I do think that this House would welcome that so long as public health was adhered to. So thank you again and I look forward to seeing some of these ideas come to fruition."@en1
