Human spongiform encephalopathy agent

Some 60 Australian and European laboratories specialising in the identification of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, particularly the poorly identified forms such as variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (vCJD), collaborated in order to contribute to understanding the vCJD and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic in Europe and developing preventative measures against it.

The family includes diseases such as Creutzfeld Jakob Disease in humans, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in small ruminants (sheep and goats) and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids.

2. Recalls the severe consequences of past BSE diseases, which led to a threat to public health and wide-scale export bans on the EU's internal market, hampered Member States' external trade activities and caused serious damage to the EU's livestock sector; takes the view that processed animal proteins are a valuable source of proteins and part of the solution for rebalancing the EU’s protein deficit; takes note of the Commission communication to Parliament and the Council entitled ‘The TSE Roadmap 2’ (COM(2010)0384), which seeks to ease the ban on the use of processed animal proteins from non-ruminants in non-ruminant feed; stresses ...[+++]that easing the feed ban can be considered only if scientific evidence and testing methods guarantee that the transmission of diseases can be excluded and the prohibition on intra-species recycling can be enforced;

Past crises related to outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease, the spread of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and the occurrence of dioxins in feedingstuffs have shown the consequences of the improper use of certain animal by-products for public and animal health, the safety of the food and feed chain and consumer confidence.
