lpv:translated text	". With regard to the Kindermann report, we believe that it is vitally important and a matter of regret that this regulation is not included, like the four other proposals by the Commission, within the co-decision framework. The proposal for a regulation is based on Article 37, relating to the common agricultural policy and aims to put in place more rational legislation to avoid the contamination of farm animals by products of animal origin containing pathogenic agents. We all remember the food-and-mouth epidemic which recently struck Europe and the ensuing crisis within the agricultural industry, primarily in the United Kingdom. Initial enquiries confirm that the contamination was caused by food of animal origin from third countries, which was used for pig feed. As far as animal-health conditions governing the production and sale of Community products are concerned, we must carry out careful and regular monitoring of the health state of producing regions. Official controls and Community inspections must be carried out without prior warning. So that we have the resources required, we must consider – as Mr Kindermann said – how many vets are needed in the Member States, as well as at the European Food and Veterinary Office in Dublin. In addition, our legal mechanism must take into account the candidate countries and we must make penalties uniform. As regards imports from third countries, we must have the same provisions as for Member States. However, overly strict hygiene measures must not be perceived as barriers to trade. If that is the case, we should make adjustments but continue to bear in mind the original aim of the regulation. We support Mr Kindermann’s report, which provides the necessary clarifications to the Commission proposal."@en1
