".
The resolution that we have just adopted is a step in the right direction in the fight against this disease. Most importantly, it sets great store by prevention, as we have been advocating, because a potential pandemic can be avoided through prevention. As the text says, exchanging information is vital if we are to avoid alarmism. We must work with a sense of proportion, in tandem with the national and international authorities.
Hence our calls for the Commission to provide financial support for a monitoring system, laboratory tests, research into suitable vaccines, vaccination in the Member States and financial and technical support for third countries, especially in Asia, to ensure prevention and screening at source.
Community support must be provided, as we have been advocating, in the event of an outbreak of the disease, given that this will cause poultry breeders to lose income as they restart their operations. Such an outbreak will also affect a significant number of farmers and others working in or connected to the poultry sector, and will have a major economic and social knock-on effect in the Member States.
It is therefore important to bear in mind that, quite apart from the human health problems, some countries – be they EU countries or those at the source of the disease in South-East Asia – may not be able to meet the high costs involved."@en1
