lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I should like to congratulate my colleague, Mrs Roth-Behrendt. She has drawn up a balanced report based on common sense. Turning to the issue of fishmeal, maybe I am a bit emotional, but I tend to agree with those who say that we should not go back to feeding animal protein to ruminants. We moved away from that a number of years ago. We continue to feed ruminants and eat them in our countries. Therefore I believe that is a step backwards. I wonder what the public would say if we asked them about this. Would they want us to go back to feeding fish discards to ruminants? Is that what the public wants? I can accept the compromise that Mrs Roth-Behrendt has put before us, because it makes sense and it would help us achieve a first reading agreement. The second issue is the policy shift on tolerance levels for small amounts of animal protein. In concrete terms, that means that, in my constituency for example, a feed plant which at the moment is producing feed for ruminants will be able at the same time to manufacture feed for pigs and poultry. At the moment they have to transport feed from other parts of the country at greater expense, with more of an environmental impact because of the transport. It is a common-sense idea to have the tolerance thresholds to make sure that we have proper clean-up between the different kinds of feed manufacture. I send my good wishes to Mrs Roth-Behrendt. I hope she will be back soon. She has produced a very good report and I know that she has worked very hard on TSE and BSE for many years on behalf of this Parliament."@en1
