lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should first of all like to thank Commissioner Byrne. I am delighted that he replied so clearly to my direct question concerning sanctions and that this is an issue which is being dealt with by the Commission. I am really looking forward to our being able to adopt a position in this House on the Commission’s proposal concerning the way in which the issue is to be handled. I see this as a major step forward when it comes both to this issue and to the control and inspection of foodstuffs generally. I can also tell the Commissioner that I share his view of the proposal to reduce the age of animals that are to be tested for BSE to 24 months. That was not my proposal. Rather, it came from elsewhere. I shall therefore help vote down this proposal tomorrow, using the same arguments that the Commissioner used. I want to take the opportunity of thanking you, my fellow MEPs, for all your kind words. It has been a pleasure to work on this report. I would, however, emphasise in conclusion that the danger is not over. As we have seen during 2001, new cases have been discovered in many other countries, not only within the EU but also in the candidate countries, Slovenia and Slovakia, as well as in Japan. BSE is still a problem. I share the view expressed by Mr Whitehead concerning the BSE investigation which proved to have been carried out on cows’ brains instead of sheep’s brains. That means that the thing we know in many of these situations is that we really do not know anything, or that we do not know a sufficient amount. That is why there is a need for research."@en1
