lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to extend my thanks – which will be passed on, I am sure – to the rapporteur for his work, but I regret that the Commission has not accepted the proposal for a decision of Parliament amending the Directive of 2002 on the circulation of compound feedingstuffs. In fact, while the requirement to provide the authorities alone with the composition of the mixtures in the event of a crisis admittedly represents a step forward, it is not sufficient, and the issue should therefore be tackled when the legislation is reviewed by the Commission in 2007. It is essential that farmers using these feedingstuffs should be aware of the origin of the ingredients, whether these be vegetable or mineral. Different mineral and vegetable proteins have different properties, and it was for lack of information about origins that, for example, feed was found to contain rendered animal fats, leading to the infamous BSE crisis. Furthermore, the composition of the mixtures cannot be withheld on the pretext of protecting the intellectual property rights to the formulas. In carrying out their work and making up the feed ration for their livestock using some of their own produce, farmers must be able to balance the feed by supplementing it with a mixture. In order to maintain this balance, it is therefore crucial for farmers to be aware of the composition of the mixture that they buy. Farmers must remain in charge of their own affairs, and the manufacturers' monopoly must not prevent them from doing their job, especially since, in the event of a crisis, they will be blamed for misusing feedingstuffs that they know nothing about. In short, despite the amendments made to the Commission’s proposals by this report, agribusiness and the manufacturers of feedingstuffs are still unduly favoured at the expense of farmers."@en1
