    WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3178/98 by Christian ROVSING to the Commission. Medicine residues in horse meat

    Official Journal C 096 , 08/04/1999 P. 0165


    WRITTEN QUESTION E-3178/98

    by Christian Rovsing (PPE) to the Commission

    (27 October 1998)

    Subject: Medicine residues in horse meat

    In view of the public concern over medicine residues in foodstuffs and the fact that animals, including racehorses, need to be treated for diseases:

    1. What will the Commission do to ensure that MRL (Maximum Residue Limits) are laid down for all essential medicines and that the latter can be afforded by all horse owners?

    2. Since professional racehorses receive considerable amounts of medicine during their career, how will the Commission ensure that they do not end up as food?

    Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission

    (11 November 1998)

    The Commission is conducting a detailed investigation of the problem raised by the Honourable Member and will inform him of the outcome as soon as possible.
