Under BSE-skandalen sørgede vi for, at de videnskabelige udvalg i Den Europæiske Union blev omstruktureret, at videnskabsmændene udpeges i et åbent udvælgelsessystem, at deres cv 'er og deres økonomiske interesser er kendt, at dagsordener, protokoller og også mindretalsudtalelser offentliggøres på Internettet.
During the BSE scandal, we ensured that the European Union 's scientific committees were restructured and that scientists are now appointed under an open appointments system, that their past careers and financial interests are known about and that the agendas, minutes and also minority opinions expressed are published on the Internet.
