lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Böge’s report on measures to prevent TSE diseases is based on the proposals of the European Parliament’s temporary BSE Committee. Mr Böge was responsible for some invaluable work on this committee, and it is a relief to see that the job of monitoring the work of the BSE Committee in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development has fallen to him: he is the one with the experience. I would have liked my speech to be part of a discussion that would have also treated the second part of the Commission’s proposal. I do not think it appropriate to have to conduct in part the same discussion when Mrs Roth-Behrendt’s report from the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy is featured in the plenary session. In the previous speech Mrs Schierhuber said that scrapies is an insidious disease. It is indeed. For me as a Finn, and a member who has been active in matters concerning agriculture and the health and transportation of animals, it is most important that those EU states where TSEs do not occur at all will in the future too be guaranteed the right to inspect as fully as is necessary the transportation of live animals. I wish to stress how important it is for us to remain free of disease. The possibility, if necessary, of having additional inspections of animals in these areas is not a question of artificial protectionism or the restriction of freedom of movement, as there really is justification for it. The inspections must be seen as being fair and cost-effective action to promote the wellbeing of animals and prevent increased expenditure for the EU. On behalf of the European Liberal Democrats, we can support the Commission’s proposal on Mr Böge’s report, but in the forthcoming debate on Mrs Roth-Behrendt’s report we must look again at the position of those countries where TSEs do not occur."@en1
