lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am grateful to the Commissioner for his introduction. There are actually only a few questions of importance not only to the consumer, but also to the sector itself. The very first question we have to ask is whether Europe finally determined what it is that we do not want to let in. I sometimes feel sorry for the Commissioner, because he can only implement what has been agreed in the Member States. The order did not become valid until 6 February. This means that the system governing the Commission’s relations with the Member States – after all, you cannot always do everything – probably still leaves something to be desired. Moreover, I wonder what the situation is as regards meat, because the order stipulates 1 January as the date on which imports are no longer permitted. What about meat that has been imported from those countries prior to that date? My next question is as follows. I gather that there is now also a problem in the United States. Admittedly, it is not the real avian influenza as we know it in Asia, but it appears to be related. What do we do with those countries? What do the consumers want? They want the guarantee that they receive safe products. They also want sound information, which states that, since you normally do not eat raw meat, chicken meat in a different composition or other method of preparation can do no harm. Let us make sure we can provide this collective information. A number of Members have already mentioned vaccines. I see this as an area in which Europe should develop far more resources and scope in order to act as one."@en1
