The nations of the Commonwealth of Solaris humbley request delegate support for the following resolution:

International Meat Standards
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental Industry Affected: All Businesses Proposed by: Contino
Description: Where by livestock infected with Anthrax(the natural form), BSE, Scrapie and Mycoplasma gallisepticum, to mention but a few, are running rife on the farms of our nations I call for action from the U.N. to address this problem and thus eliminate the risk of these diseases being passed onto humans.

I propose the foundation of an international meat standards agency to enforce and carry out the following proposals.

1. A complete ban on using on using parts from other animals to feed livestock.

2. Random testing programs to test livestock for any diseases that could be transmitted to humans.

3. Vaccination of all livestock in areas where cases of diseased livestock has been discovered. Providing there exists at the time a suitable vaccine.

4. Stronger actions to be taken against livestock farmers who don’t follow current regulations to prevent infection of livestock and farmers who don’t inform the authorities of any cases of livestock diseases.

5. Higher safety levels in rendering plants to protect employees from the human variants of the for mentioned livestock diseases, most notably CJD.

I also propose increased support from the U.N. for scientists researching vaccines and cures for the previously mentioned diseases. For both humans and livestock.
