lpv:translated text	". Mr President, first of all, I should like to congratulate Mr Adamou on his excellent report. Bird flu remains a huge threat to human and animal health in Europe and outside, and it is clear that coordination at European level is required. If somewhere, anywhere in the EU, a loophole appears in the measures against bird flu, the implications for all of us can be devastating. It would, however, be foolish not to look beyond our Union, because the virus will not be careful to stay within our outside borders. That is why it is vital that we work together with all countries in an extensive and intense effort. The EUR 80 million which the EU has currently made available for aid to third countries is, in my view, somewhat paltry. It is not an area on which we should economise. It might be an idea, for safety reasons, in order to stop the virus from spreading, to abandon Parliament’s monthly moves and to invest the EUR 200 million that we would save into combating the virus. For the rest, since prevention is better than cure, it is important to provide adequate responses in the event of an outbreak. It is important to ensure that the public is properly informed, but prevention is an area on which we will need to focus most. I happen to take the view that inoculating poultry in Europe is still the best method of prevention. Not only does this reduce the risk of the virus spreading, but it can also prevent the needless slaughter of millions of animals, and thus also psychological damage among the farmers and aid workers involved."@en1
