lpv:translated text	"Mr President, if the Belgian dioxin crisis, the BSE crisis and the foot-and-mouth epidemic have taught us anything, it is that there is a need for strict regulation on the trade in, and storage and processing of, animal waste. Some 16 million tonnes of animal waste have to be disposed of every year. Since 4 December 2000, a total ban has been in place on feeding farm animals animal protein. The proposal for a Regulation which we are debating today describes how we must deal with animal waste from now on, and how undesired products must be prevented from ending up in the food chain. The proposal is creating order in the sector, as well as clearly separated waste streams which must under no circumstances be mixed together. In her introduction, Mrs Paulsen very clearly pinpointed all bottlenecks. This Regulation is of crucial importance. If it transpires that the subdivision into three categories, the compulsory separation of waste streams and the prevention of cannibalism in the sector are not, or not sufficiently, being complied with and that fraud is, or remains, too prominent, we can assume that the political pre-conditions for allowing the use of meat and bone meal in animal feed for pigs and chickens have not been met. Then an appeal to enforce a total ban will rightly ensue. That is why, ladies and gentlemen, I would ask for your massive support for Amendment No 64 to Article 26, which states that the interim ban on feeding animals all kinds of animal by-products must not be extended to the date on which this regulation enters into force, as is the Commission’s wish, but to the date on which this regulation is fully implemented in the Member States. In the light of this, we want a report from the Member States, before 1 February 2003, on the uniform application of this regulation, and only upon receipt of this report can the debate on the lifting of the total ban begin. We must be certain that the regulation works, that fraud is practically ruled out and that the sector has drawn the necessary lessons from the crisis. I believe that this regulation offers the sector a fair chance. The sector will hopefully take that chance."@en1
