According to Prof. Brenig, the regulations in Germany and in the European Union (EU), according to which the brain of slaughtered cattle over the age of 24 or 30 months is examined for the typical prion protein deposits, are in the light of developments in Japan and France insufficient consumer protection. Here are much younger animals suffering from BSE. The previous test methods only react when the accumulation of prion protein has reached a certain amount in the brain tissue. The killing of all cattle in a cohort affected by BSE also considers Prof. Brenig to be an efficient, but not forward-looking strategy. The European Union Scientific Steering Committee has developed guidelines that require the culling of BSE cattle cohorts. A cohort is defined as all animals born or reared within 12 months before and after the BSE case.

The DBV considers the single animal identification and registration procedure only in the breeding area, which makes up about 10 percent of the sheep and goats kept in Germany, to be in need of improvement. Therefore, the DBV demands that these procedures be limited to the herd book breeding animals modernized and EU-uniform. In the opinion of the profession, according to the German example, this should also be used in herds in which a case of scrapie was found. This was the basis for genotyping the entire herd rather than culling the herd and culling only the non-resistant animals.

In order to make the handling of exports smoother in the future, the CMA advises affected German manufacturers to use the electronic data collection of export logistics with immediate effect. When registering online, the address and contact name of the company are mainly required. In addition, a US agent must be specified who has a permanent place of business or residence in the USA and is also physically present there. The easiest way is for German manufacturers, if one of their previous importers would be available as an agent. However, the potential agent may be a relative, friend, acquaintance, lawyer, nonprofit or governmental organization - but not a message. Important notes and instructions for registration up to 12. December 2003 provides CMA affected exporters on the Internet at http://www.cma.de/exportservice.
The feed used by the farms concerned comes from companies in three different federal states.

David Byrne, European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, said: "EU legislation must keep up with technological developments in food packaging. Active and intelligent packaging should be allowed in Europe provided they comply with the principles of EU food law. At the same time, the proposal extends our concept of ensuring food safety "from the producer to the final consumer" by identifying and tracing materials of whatever kind that are clearly intended to come into contact with food leaves."
