Input of information, names or suggestions from the reader

It is important that the website is kept up to date with what is actually going on in the world. One of the problems with this is that the scientific groups are working very hard and tend not to tell anyone else what they are doing until the breakthrough is ready and the political groups tend to keep as much as possible under wraps because of the repercussions.

The effect of this is that the newspapers have a great time making the best stories that they can out of the least information and the consumers and the farmers voices are hardly heard until the shops cannot sell the beef and the farmers start to go bankrupt.

Initially the tendency was that the European Governments (and WHO) received their information about BSE from the UK Ministry of Agriculture. It must be clear to anyone watching now that the MAFF data was not all of the story.

It is important that groups interested in BSE keep up to date and that they supply and receive information regularly!

For this reason 2 items will soon be starting: The Journal will be requiring publications and the editors are currently calling for submissions for the first edition to be published in the Summer of 1996 on the internet. For information on how to submit, see the journal page in this web

The Conference should be starting in June or July 1996 with 10 discussion speeches. Five of these are already ready and we are calling for further submissions. For information on how to submit, see the conference page in this web.
