"Madam President, I will be brief, although I do think Mrs Lulling’s idea of cross-pollinating speaking time across the groups is certainly one to be further considered.
I will echo comments about the beekeeping sector, but I would remind colleagues that the wild bumble bee population across Europe is also in a similar – and very grave – situation. They are just as important for biodiversity and the pollination benefits that we have heard of – very correctly – about the honey bee sector. I would pay tribute to the work of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust in Scotland, covering the bumble bee population across the UK.
Commissioner, I would pick up on question 4 – an excellent question – suggesting that the Commission bring bee diseases into the veterinary policy. This has been a long-standing call of this Parliament, and it strikes me that this is not just about doling out money but about sharing best practice and knowledge across the Union. A lot of scientists in a lot of places are working on this, and the Commission could play a very powerful role in pooling that information and working out how much we know about this connected and very serious problem."@en1
