"The European Parliament has voted to lift the ban on animal meal and is authorising its use for non-herbivores, in other words, poultry, fish and pigs. I voted against this authorisation. Whilst the European Parliament boasts interminably about the importance of traceability in the food sector, it admits that, for the moment, there is no guarantee of a clear separation of products derived from animal meal from others, whether at the time of slaughter or during transport. In this text, the European Parliament is bending to pressure from the lobbies, to the detriment of public health. I strongly object to this vote. The argument put forward in this resolution of a protein deficit in Europe seems to me to fall well short of justifying such a risk. We can clearly see here that, faced with pressure from the lobbies, the majority of the European Parliament has renounced the precautionary principle and is not hesitating to take risks with public health, merely in exchange for a request to the Commission to improve traceability."@en1
