Svaret er ikke at kræve BSE-frie regioner eller områder, men at acceptere, at Den Europæiske Union findes udgør et område, hvor der er brug for total sikkerhed og årvågenhed samt mulighed for at spore varernes oprindelse for at genskabe forbrugernes tillid samt for atter at kunne sælge oksekød over alt i Fællesskabet under omstændigheder og på et marked, hvor denne tillid er genskabt.
The answer is not to clamour for BSE-free regions or zones but to recognize that throughout the European Union we are a single zone which needs total security, safety, traceability and vigilance as the soundest basis for consumer confidence and for beef to be traded once again throughout the Community on its merits and in a market where that confidence has been restored.
