"I am voting for this report because I believe food safety is one of the European public’s main concerns. European legislation should therefore ensure the best possible protection, through the updating and strengthening of provisions whenever necessary. As such, following the bovine spongiform encephalopathy crisis, the EU adopted strict rules on the identification and traceability of bovine animals back in 1997. I agree with the rapporteur, who welcomes the Commission’s legislative proposal, which will enhance the safety of beef for consumers. I would stress that the rapporteur proposes a number of additional clarifications to each of the three sections of the proposal, which I consider important. As regards electronic identification, it makes it possible to obtain more reliable data, thus strengthening the traceability system and enhancing food safety. As regards simplification of labelling and, in particular, updating the Commission’s competences, it is important that, no later than five years after the entry into force of this regulation, it submits to Parliament and the Council a report and, where appropriate, relevant proposals for implementing this regulation and the necessary progress."@en1
