In the absence of scientific knowledge on "chronic botulism" the Commission cannot envisage the establishment of a system for compulsory reporting of this syndrome at EU level, as this should be based on harmonised, science-based criteria that currently cannot be identified.
Ker ni znanstvenih dognanj o „kroničnem botulizmu“, Komisija ne more načrtovati vzpostavitve sistema za obvezno poročanje o tem sindromu na ravni EU, saj bi ta moral temeljiti na usklajenih znanstvenih merilih, ki pa jih trenutno ni mogoče določiti.
