摘要

Europe is winning the battle against BSE, eight years after it exploded across the continent. The ban on feeding meat and bonemeal to animals has halted the spread of infection, and last year a mere 49 animals tested positive at slaughter in the UK. Now the European Commission wants to ease up on controls and the number of cattle undergoing expensive tests. Will this put people at risk?rnProMetic, a Canadian company that has developed a super-sensitive BSE test, argues that we must impose the most stringent tests possible on cattle because we know so little about the disease. A new generation of tests may be about to gain approval from the commission, including ProMetic's, which is 80 times more sensitive than existing tests.rnHowever, many scientists argue that while such tests may reveal more infected animals, they may not necessarily make meat any safer for people to eat.
