"Madam President, Commissioner, the European Parliament and the rapporteur, Mrs Roth-Behrendt, in particular have shown great dedication in coping with the BSE crisis, they have played a good part, and they have also been able to put the Commission on the right track with the various instruments like the committee of inquiry and the conditional motion of censure. We are pleased that we are now no longer having to deal with the start or the height of the crisis but with its tailing off. This was a man-made crisis and if we remove the causes of it we will find a way out. The Committee on Agriculture does in fact believe that we should have the courage to begin to move out of it. The end of this development will therefore again be that high-grade animal protein can be fed to non-vegetarian animals if it comes from animals that have been released for human consumption. What troubles us about this movement is that the Commission is now very much taking over the action in the comitology procedure and is taking the decisions. We believe the European Parliament should be involved. We are all somewhat concerned that in taking over the administrative and regulatory process the Commission is leaving the European Parliament out in the cold. We have therefore strengthened the decisions of principle to ensure that questions of consumer protection and environmental protection must play a major role. Overall, we believe that on the question of codecision in the comitology procedure the European Parliament like the Council must have the right to enter a veto if things are decided in the Annexes that really should be dealt with in the European Parliament’s codecision procedure."@en1
