The recent scandal over dioxin findings in eggs, chicken and pork fell, the now adapted the consideration for the EU rapid intervention at national level z. B. with a declaration and insurance mandatory for feed producers to hinder. Agriculture and Consumer Protection Minister Aigner appeared as a Minister "without land", without responsibility, as Minister of voluntarily exercised their self circumcision by the German people delegated to them powers.
The reference to the need for "European regulations" is now regarded as Standardausrede for intellectual laziness and moral cowardice before the supposedly all-powerful, all-competent, but not democratically elected EU Commission.
EurAktiv , the European portal for news, background information and communications, praised in an article dated 14.1.2011 explicitly that Aigner have constantly good refunded to Brussels report: "Aigner pointed out that her ministry since the outbreak of the dioxin scandal 'constantly at The European Commission reported 'have. 'The Commission has certified us that our action was outstanding, "said Aigner."
How embarrassing is that? Are we here in school? This trend to fawn at the EU Commission and to cross buck to seek issue "certificates", smells like new subservience, we believed but just overcome only. The Commissioners are appointed by the individual EU governments, highly paid officials who are in a permanent state of usurpation against democratically elected ministers, the latter carrying too.
EurAktiv: "The CDU MEP Horst Quick Hardt and Peter Liese welcomed today's Action plan. Sweeping controls and transparency in the food chain from fork to fork are necessary to ensure the safety of consumers', ruled Quick Hardt. "
Sweeping EU controls of the fork to plate? From "cradle to grave" in chickens, pigs and humans? No, thank you. How about regular-irregular unannounced inspections and spot checks by the competent authorities?
"Liese added that the protection measures 'against irresponsible Futterfettpanschern' would have to be coordinated and implemented throughout Europe. 'The points must not be limited only to Germany, "Liese said."
Should we wait in Germany in all seriousness it, were completed by such coordination even at the last of the 27 EU states? The agricultural market in Germany is at least represents a third of the European total, there should be laws can be implemented quickly. However, this is always done in the media as "unilateral" maggoty.
Forgotten is also the other possibility that we already have in Germany sufficient regulations, and policies to implement them consistently. Why? Why were chemical analyzes made no tighter? Were the state authorities financially or no personnel capable of? If no, why else?
The public must be much more aware of the skillful actions of the European Commission: Each scandal is consistently used to tear even more controls and powers to be.
"Aigner wants to also use 'with full force' to create a 'transparent and binding' positive list of feed materials. 'That must be regulated at European level. Otherwise, an operation might use in a neighboring country feed that are not listed yet import its products to Germany, "she explained. [Meaning probably export].
Nearly 50 percent of consumed in Germany eggs come from abroad - of which a very large part in processed products, Liese said. Unilateral constraints would therefore weigh heavily on the German agriculture and at the same time not really promote consumer protection. A voluntary industry self-regulation reject both Liese and Aigner from inadequate. "
Well, here it naturally comes to the dreaded "distortion of competition". Again, you could quickly and efficiently remedy the situation with a declaration obligation. The consumer could decide whether he wants to possibly have the risk of something dioxin in chicken egg or eggs in the waffle, then go yourself. In any case, it would be this is no longer, as before, palmed, but he could freely choose such a risk. Of course, this problem in reality so not because the manufacturers and Exporters Directory of relevant products will think twice if they want to z. B. lose their Absatzmartkt Germany, Switzerland, Austria, if their products can not guarantee how their feed fats for the chickens came. No company can afford to get into the dioxin headlines through the positive result of a sample. It does not matter because even if it is in the Netherlands or in Germany.
"Also in another aspect, Aigner 'urgent need for action at EU level'. So all feed manufacturers should have an operation and production of liability insurance or other financial guarantees is payable on legal violations. In Germany such insurance requirement is introduced, 'at EU level will I require such a scheme,' said Aigner. "
There you go, it works! But even the best law is invalid, if the authorities are to be thinned out financially or staffed to unannounced to pay a courtesy visit to the producers ...
In the Bonner General-Anzeiger published on 20.1.2011 a very interesting letter from a Mr Markus Radscheid, Rhine river, which I would like to gain a larger readership here:
"The caused by dioxin-containing feed current scandal involving chicken eggs and chicken meat is totally going past us. For many years we hold a house for our needs for a sufficiently large eggs Hühnervölkchen with always three to four hens and a proud rooster here. We get daily fresh eggs from our own garden and need almost never what to buy. Even in the arctic temperatures in December have our chickens "by set" and the harsh weather do not mind. In regards to our needs, we are self-sufficient eggs.
In times of stronger desire for healthy food, I wonder why more people do not hold themselves a few chickens. Even in the villages in the Rhine-Sieg-Kreis and Bonn I see only very rarely chicken scratch merrily in the garden. It's so simple and cheap to keep a few hens for their own domestic use. The animals need a few square meters enclosure, a dry stall and of course in addition to grain feed and water a place to lay eggs. For fans of modern home decor, there are even fancy mobile chicken coop, brighter houses in bright colors nowadays. Chickens are the best playmates for children in other respects. Are parakeets, golden hamsters and guinea pigs but sensitive animals, chickens can 'some from'. Hens can next be even tamer than a poodle and enjoy again and again by their cheerfulness.
I recommend people keep more chickens in your backyard, then you can be the dioxin scandal cold. "

According to Udo Polmer
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udo_Pollmer
D belongs to the highest dioxin-contaminated areas in Europe.
This enormous burden is partly due to the burning eden villages at the end of the 2nd World War.
After Polmer products have "free run" produced on the larger amount of pollutant.
What, supra, is not surprising.
If you want happy chickens, you have to eat dioxin.
This is tough.
What follows from this?
Ended all wars! Formerly known or later you'll get the episodes on your plate. Even, or even more so, if you do ecologically Feeds for expensive money.
Thank you for this interesting note; other pollutants as in fires are indeed free, for mercury. maybe yes everything is grown in D, getting a higher percentage of contaminants ?? Nevertheless, cages can be performed only with chemistry and medicine. Then perhaps you prefer eggs from the farmer next door; the ethical question of how we actually treat our fellow creatures, but you can give a definite answer but few ...
Good evening, Mrs. Beck,
I would just like to add the comment by Rudolf Fritz, as I list the YouTube links of "Pollmerschen" comments:
"Udo Pollmer over the Seveso poison dioxin"
Part I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KgLa488USM
Part II
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umEk2YwXru4
Pollmer are in part 1 from about 8:30 min an interesting reference in connection with the stresses of free-range livestock:
"... And this current campaign is well obviously the long term, - otherwise you can not at all explain, so irrational is that - to make the biological production in Germany impossible ..."
If there times the demand for "more consumer protection" by the biological and conservation organizations not backfire!
PS. This is Pollmers current base station (I know the man well only recently):

I am glad that you frequently publish again on your blog.
Whether the regulation fanatics are now sitting in Berlin, Brussels or elsewhere, but remains secondary. The death industry panscht us our beautiful colorful food at will cope and as long as we do not like flies, it is interested neither politicians nor consumers much. What counts is the shareholder value of corporations and lack of quality is weggebügelt with mendacious advertising.
After each scandal, the consumption of organic food is increasing in the short term then likewise short term ebb again. The Michel's just forgetful. Who wants "honest" food is eh not find at discount stores. Unfortunately, we deal with what we dig ourselves daily in the hatch, not even close properly. Would we do it, we would realize that every day we have the opportunity to succumb to the promises of the death industry or just as well not. And if the residual waste only remains lying like lead in the discount shelves, a rethink is increasingly taking place in natural and holistic nutrition. But greed is well known horny. I think my health but horny.
'Hens can next be even tamer than a poodle and enjoy again and again by their cheerfulness. I recommend people keep more chickens in your backyard, then you can be the dioxin scandal cold '
A great idea. Self-sufficiency is anyway the Non Plus Ultra at the present time.
I would like to say one more thing:
According to statistics, even never cook at least 80% of the Germans. While French, Italians and Spaniards put a lot of money in edibles, food can not be low enough in D. Sure, this is in no case an excuse for criminal processors, manufacturers etc. but me personally are already thinking that seems important, whether you rumfährt with the newest star or not, than what you purely throws in his body. With love cooking and eating with relish but some of the few things that make quite apolitical fun. And love the EU has also contributed to her that it is in agriculture only to maximum yield, efficiency and perverse Super Mega Farms. Respect for food is a miracle of nature as this dear little planet earth also is deserted before the mile-long shelves with finished food from the kitchen chemistry. The reference to the second world war-dioxin loads is interesting. It is certainly so that wars destroy our environment very very long term.
Who was ever disturbed by the constant noise of a rooster in the neighborhood, certainly will not agree with the author of the letter to the editor flatly. In the country it may u. U. be an alternative, but in rugged places should be taken by free-running animal husbandry distance.
Otherwise, the article makes clear what is today understood by EUSSR. The sovereignty of the individual EU countries is guided by an excessive bureaucracy and undemocratic commissioners used ad absurdum.
