"Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) are caused by a transmissible agent known as a prion which is an abnormal form of protein. This disease is extremely dangerous to people and animals. Although the European Union has recently seen a decline in bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) cases, it is essential to maintain the same level of control of TSE and related feed and food and stringent surveillance mechanisms. At EU level, we must be in a state of constant readiness to stop an outbreak of this disease. I believe that the Commission should encourage research to develop rapid BSE-diagnostic tests. Furthermore, it is very important for the Commission to review the current threshold levels for dioxin in fish-meal. It should be noted that the limit currently permitted is too low, because it poses a threat to human and animal health. Consequently, I welcome this proposed resolution on EU legislation on Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and on related feed and food controls – implementation and outlook."@en1
