"Madam President, the origin of the infection that caused twenty-one deaths in Germany last week is still unknown. This further highlights the undue haste with which the German authorities acted.
The accusations are particularly serious, given that the German market is a key consumer of agricultural products, which is indeed the reason why it has received significant investments for the promotion of those products.
The European authorities therefore need to take action on two fronts. In the short term, implementation of a mechanism to compensate the European farmers most affected must be guaranteed, while in the medium term, it will be necessary to reform the early warning system for unsafe food to prevent any more unfounded alarms in the future. These measures will have to take into account the diversity of the European agricultural industry.
Hence, the Commission’s proposal to fund a recall mechanism using the vegetable producers organisations’ budget is unacceptable. In many regions in Europe, such as Catalonia for example, such organisations do not exist, and therefore the system cannot be used to compensate farmers."@en1
