Ms Paola Colombo:

Unfortunately we cannot predict that. In Europe, one of the things we do not question is the prohibition of using hormones in meat. When we do our audits in countries like Brazil or Argentina, where this practice is authorised, to carefully check which guarantee they can offer us. We allow the split system and a completely separate way of tracing back animals that have not been treated with hormones. In Europe, I would be surprised if it was brought into question by any one. It is a sort of a credo. It is something we are no longer discussing.
