"As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together.
In November 2001, the Commission decided that the rule concerning compulsory salmonella testing does not apply to meat preparations. However, when meat preparations are imported from a country outside the EU, the Swedish guarantee applies.
The tests conducted in Sweden show that meat preparations must be subject to compulsory salmonella testing if the salmonella guarantee is to be effective in that country.
What does the Commission intend to do to ensure that meat preparations are subject, as soon as possible, to compulsory salmonella testing before being exported to Sweden?
Question No 48 by Marit Paulsen ():
On 12 November 2001, the Swedish requirement that meat preparations imported from other Member States must undergo compulsory testing by the Swedish authorities was abandoned after the Commission had pointed out to the Swedish Food Administration that meat preparations – such as marinated chicken – were not covered by the salmonella guarantees that Sweden had negotiated on accession to the EU.
During 2002, the Swedish Food Administration and five municipalities in Sweden are investigating the presence of salmonella in meat preparations imported from other Member States. The results so far show that approximately one third of the sampled batches have tested positive for salmonella.
Is it really the Commission's intention to exacerbate the situation in regard to the spread of salmonella within those areas of the EU which are relatively uncontaminated, at the same time as working on a regulation to achieve a uniform situation with regard to salmonella throughout the Union?
Question No 49 by Jonas Sjöstedt ():
In conjunction with five Swedish municipalities, the Swedish National Food Administration has taken some 40 samples of imported meat preparations, approximately one third of which tested positive for salmonella. Chicken products were the worst offenders."@en1
