On 17.1.01, the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) advising the European Commission on multidisciplinary matters, including on issues related to BSE, published an opinion with its replies to the questions raised at the EU Council of Agriculture Ministers of 4 December 2000. The questions concerned the safety of certain bovine tissues and animal by-products that might pose a BSE risk. The scientists conclude that some further restrictions on the use of bovine tissues could be necessary whenever the risk management measures in place do not ensure that the presence of BSE is highly unlikely. The European Commission welcomes the scientific advice and will draw its conclusions in the near future on the range of measures that have been addressed. |
