European Parliament 12 November 2002, WRITTEN QUESTION P-3269/02 by Maria Sanders-ten Holte (ELDR) to the Commission. Free movement of services and persons with reference to attending private denominational schools in a Member State other than the Member State of origin.

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (11 December 2002) Community legislation lays down equivalent requirements for Community production of poultry meat and imports of such meat from third countries in order to ensure food safety. Accordingly, there are not two levels of protection, but only one. Border checks are the responsibility of the Member States.
