Mr President, before we proceed to the vote, I should like to hear Commissioner Fischler's acceptance of what Mr Mayer just said.

Fischler
Mr President, it is very interesting that those Members who speak my language are the very ones who apparently misunderstand what I say. So let me declare for the third time that the Commission approves.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I welcome Mr Wole Soyinka, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, who came to see me this morning to tell me about the situation in Nigeria, on which Parliament is now fully informed.

Mr President, it is hardly surprising that a British Conservative would like to state a case as to why we voted against the Medina report this morning. If I had been a fly on the wall yesterday I could well have heard some people trying to make us believe that the British Government was trying to promote BSE in our country.
I have to say that I regret very much the attitude that has been adopted by this House, because it missed the main point. We cannot rewrite history and that is what the report tries to do. It tries, in fact, to produce its own prejudices which are not backed by facts. The committee really needed some scientific instruments to help it to come to the right conclusions - perhaps a retrospectoscope, because that is what it has used by trying to look back and not recognize that this was a new disease and a new situation that had arisen.
Let us all be very clear. I am sure this Parliament and we, as British Conservatives, want to promote health
. But we will take note of it and it will appear in the Minutes so that the Commission can accept it, if it see fit.

 Mr President, it is hardly surprising that a British Conservative would like to state a shell as to why we voted against the Medina report this morning.
