Mediterranean region: common strategy of the European Council of 19 June 2000, Feira

The European Parliament adopted the report by Mrs Christiana MUSCARDINI (UEN, I). (Please refer to the previous text). In addition, a series of amendments were adopted that seek to strengthen the wording of the resolution. A couple of amendments urge the Commission to prohibit European countries from exporting to Mediterranean partner countries food products intended for stockbreeding purposes that are made from substances banned in Europe. The Commission is also urged to establish monitoring systems to ensure that these exports do not take place.�
