On 27.11.00, David Byrne, European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, said hat, regrettably, he was not surprised by the reported discovery of BSE in Germany and Spain. The European Commission has for years warned of the probability of BSE being found in other Member States. In particular Germany and Spain had been identified as countries where there was a likelihood of BSE being discovered. He urged these Member States to ensure that the recently introduced EU-legislation to remove specific risk materials (SRM) was fully implemented. |
