lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, there can be little doubt that it is right for us to discuss the Schmallenberg virus in Parliament today. I would, however, ask that we should distance ourselves from any tendency towards panic or overreaction. After all, what has happened? As so often happens, we have a virus, in this case the Schmallenberg virus, that has only occurred in some animals, although admittedly in larger numbers. However, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute has also found that the animals automatically develop immunity when they come into contact with the pathogen. I would remind you that a few years ago we talked about swine flu and avian flu, putting significant measures in place to combat the problem, only to be forced to defend ourselves from attacks from the Greens within the committee suggesting we were overreacting. In other words, a slightly more considered approach is necessary. I believe we should check the facts and that there is a need to gather data regarding the disease throughout Europe. I believe we also need to examine the extent to which these measures are necessary. I think that calling for compensation at this early stage is taking things too far. There are a number of options available at national level. For example, compensation can be paid from the regional animal disease funds in Germany and the Netherlands. I would suggest that the Commission should provide support with the establishment of such funds in other countries, enabling us to deal with the problem much faster on a regional basis, rather than through unwieldy programmes for the whole of Europe."@en1
