".
Mr President, the new directive is necessary so that measures can be take to protect public health and poultry stocks from avian influenza and to prevent the virus from mutating from a low to a high pathogenic virus and the risk of its spreading to humans.
The measures proposed in the directive are the right measures. At the same time, however, provision is made for derogations and this is where caution is needed, because this will adulterate the severity of the measures. It will allow large poultry industries attacked by low pathogenic influenza to use the derogations to channel poultry and products to the market which have been attacked instead of destroying them, thereby transferring the disease to importing countries.
If certain countries want to use the derogations, the derogations should be allowed for their area only and they must be responsible for them. The other countries, however, must have the facility to refuse to allow products subject to the derogation to be traded on their territory, because low pathogenic influenza and vaccinated birds may be considered to be of negligible risk to public health, but the low pathogenic virus could mutate into a high pathogenic virus at any moment and, although harmless now, could create dangerous situations."@en1
