"Mr President, Commissioner Byrne, from the point of view of the agriculture sector, the food safety legislation under discussion is an incredibly important issue. It has a major impact on the working conditions of businesses and thus forms the basis of the entire agricultural sector. On behalf of our committee I warmly thank Mr Whitehead for heading the preparation process so well that we other draftsmen were able to take part in the process. I would especially like to thank him for taking into account the amendments of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. I would say he has expertly covered everything and even improved the wording of some of the amendments. He has done a great job.
However, I would still like to focus attention on one particular point. The report proposes twelve representatives for the board of the new Food Authority, two of whom would be representatives of the food industry. As directed by the committee, I would like to propose a minor correction to this, namely that one of these representatives should come from the ranks of primary producers. This is addressed by Amendment No 208.
Without going any further into the numerous, perhaps slightly technical, details proposed by our committee, I would like to thank Mr Whitehead. I also hope that this legislative proposal is quickly adopted and implemented. One part of this is starting the work of the Food Authority. We can delay this no longer. The Gothenburg Summit must reach a quick decision on starting up this authority as otherwise the citizens’ faith in it will be undermined."@en1
