This was compounded by the fact that the Committee of Inquiry did not even have the courage to summon President Delors. It is quite unfair to tar Mr Steichen with the same brush as Mr MacSherry, and it is quite simply grotesque to want to send the Santer Commission packing but not even to invite Mr Delors to give evidence.
It is a pity that the Committee of Inquiry, which has done a lot of good work, has shot itself in the foot by assigning guilt in this entirely indiscriminate manner.
On the other hand, I wish to state categorically that I welcome the recommendations made by the Committee of Inquiry for future action and, after the courageous statement made by President Santer yesterday, I am sure that the Commission will act on these recommendations with the measures that we and the people of this Community have every right to expect, in order to eradicate the cattle disease and to give due priority to the health of our citizens.

The report of the Temporary Committee of Inquiry into the management of BSE has revealed the internal malfunctions of the Commission. Naturally, one must not overlook the various responsibilities of the United Kingdom, the Council and the British meal manufacturers.
In the minority position I presented, I showed the advantage of creating an independent organization which would enable decisions to be taken free of suspicion or influence. This is why I stated that this Agency should be subject to EN 45004 standards.
However, in addition to setting up an independent agency, it is also necessary for the control departments of the member States to be subject to the same international rules for ensuring conformity.
It is with great interest that I have learned of Mr Santer's proposals on the envisaged reorganization of the Commission.
However, even if the measures submitted are interesting, this cannot call into question the responsibilities for the past management of the dossier by the Commission.
This is why I have signed the tabling of the motion of censure and will of course vote for it tomorrow.
