lpv:translated text	"Mr President, like the others I would like to give my sincere support to Mr Whitehead for his excellent work. I would also like to support Mr Whitehead on the Council deciding the location having heard the views of the Commission and Parliament. This decision should be made immediately at the Gothenburg Summit. Several wishes have been presented here that the authority should begin immediately at the start of next year. If we want this authority to be an authority which really gets into the work expected of it, we also have to sacrifice preparation time to the founding of the authority. The location is not the most important thing about this authority but I sympathise a great deal with the ideas put forward via the committee that, regarding this authority in particular, attention should be paid to where it is located. Nor is it a bad criterion that the location should represent a country which has the fewest food safety cases before the European Court of Justice. These matters are important to citizens. We must also take care that the authority receives sufficient resources, not only financial resources but also scientific and in terms of expertise. The authority must be independent and it must have good contacts with the scientific community. Openness and appointments based on merit are essential. It must be an expert body on which we in Parliament can rely, which citizens trust, which provides information about threats and risks as well as progress achieved in the area of food safety."@en1
