European Parliament
President.
Question No 32 by Evangelia Tzampazi 
Subject: Discovery of dioxins in dairy products in the Netherlands
Only a few years after the scandal caused by revelations concerning dioxins in poultry and bovine spongiform encephalopathy entering the European food chain, it would appear that European citizens now have further cause for concern with discovery of carcinogenic dioxins in diary products in the Netherlands reawakening the nightmares of the recent past. Europe has not succeeded in containing this new phenomenon which affects basic consumer commodities and constitutes a serious public health hazard.
What measures will the Commission take to meet this new threat and definitely ensure food safety within the European Union in future?
