lpv:translated text	"The European Food Safety Authority was announced in September 1999. The White Paper on Food Safety is dated January 2000. We are halfway through 2001 and we are not yet in a position to say when this Authority is likely to come into operation. There are multiple practical problems to be resolved, but the proposals have arrived late and we will not know when the measures intended to prevent the outbreak and spread of contamination will be implemented. I deplore this irresponsible delay, because I refuse to make consumers and producers run the risks and face the real damage produced, for example, by the spread of mad cow disease. While waiting for the procedures to take their course, and for the governments and the Commission to reach agreement on the proposals from Parliament on responsibility for assessment and notification of risk and its management – the latter should be the exclusive responsibility of the Commission – we again propose the establishment of a provisional committee to reassure European citizens about the quality of food on the market. As regards the location of the Authority, I would stress once again that it is appropriate to locate it in an agricultural area with strong traditions, which is also a crossroads between Mediterranean and Continental Europe, which has a great and established agri-food tradition, and is the seat of a university and a centre of specialised agri-food research. We consider it out of the question, however, for the location of the Authority to become an object of barter between the Commission and any government, an affront to the citizens and to good sense. Certain that, despite the delay, the report maps out the road to travel, I am voting for the resolution."@en1
