lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I compliment the rapporteur on her work. I believe it is very timely that the European Parliament is having a debate on the need to ensure that the precautionary principle is enshrined within all EU regulations and directives. Events concerning new BSE distortions in Europe have once again put the issue of food safety at the top of the European political agenda. The precautionary principle must be invoked at every opportunity when it comes to the enactment of new EU legislative provisions in the area of protecting and improving the food chain in Europe. The 370 million consumers of the European Union are demanding action in the area of food safety. I welcome the recent statements by the European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, Mr Byrne, when he unequivocally stated that the precautionary principle is his guiding point of reference when it comes to the initiation of EU directives and regulations in the area of promoting food safety."@en1
