[01] La Commission approuve une concentration dans le secteur oléagineux en
Espagne
La Commission vient d'approuver l'acquisition par Cereol Iberica SA - une filiale
contrôlée à 100% par Eridania Beghin-Say (EBS), elle-même contrôlée par le
Groupe Montedison - de Aceites y Proteinas SA appartenant au Groupe Bunge.
Aceites y Proteinas, dont l'activité principale se situe en Espagne, est active dans
le secteur de traitement d'huiles oléagineuses, l'extraction d'huiles végétales
comestibles, leur mise en bouteille et leur commercialisation. EBS est également
présente dans ces secteurs en Espagne à travers ses filiales Cereol Iberica et
Koipe.
[02] Franz Fischler at the information seminar on BSE
In his introductory speech at today's information seminar on BSE, Agriculture
Commissioner Franz Fischler declared that the purpose of this seminar was to
explain the control measures established to protect human and animal health in
the European Community as well as in other countries. From the very outset, the
Commission has been aware of the possibility, however remote, that BSE could
be transmissible to humans. As a consequence, the highest possible level of
consumer protection must be reached and the same standards have to be
applied, whether products are sold within the Community or on the world market.
This aim is pursued by legislation on a sound scientific basis provided by groups
of scientific experts and multi-disciplinary scientific advisory bodies. The
recommendations of the WHO, the World Animal Health Organization and the
GATT-agreement on sanitary and phytosanitary measures have been integrated
in EU law. In order to make the measures taken more transparent, this meeting
was convened to give all information required for resuming normal trading
relations in animals and products which pose no risk to health.
