European Parliament
John Bowis (PPE-DE ). –
Mr President, we share Mr Cohn-Bendit’s concern about what I understand is called
Gammelfleisch.
It is a serious issue. It occurred in Bavaria; there was clearly a breach of the regulations in Germany, and we clearly need to hear from Germany what has been done.
The reason it becomes a European issue is because a little bit of that
Gammelfleisch
crossed the border into Austria and Switzerland. That is something that should be looked at. I suggest we look at it in the Environment Committee and then take the matter further from there, rather than taking up time in the plenary during what is an exceptionally busy week here in Strasbourg.
(Applause)
