lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, you have just given the entire history of a situation of generalised panic and – the truth must be stated – you have demonstrated to us the negative effects of globalisation. Now we see that states are banning trade in meat amongst each other. This proves that this crisis is, first and foremost, of a commercial nature. Let us stop seeing it as a health crisis. Let us stop mixing up the issues. Now, we no longer talk about another crisis which is also moving around the globe: that of BSE. Commissioner, what has happened to the tests? What has happened to the controls on meat and bone meal? These are questions which must be tackled alongside this crisis. Secondly, you are corrupting the precautionary principle. I am telling you this very politely as an ecologist. We are killing and burning animals on a massive scale, even though foot-and-mouth disease is not dangerous to humans. What is more, healthy animals can recover from foot-and-mouth disease. But it is not worthwhile commercially. So get things into perspective and propose valid solutions. Yes, you are slaughtering animals. Perhaps in the short term, and to get out of this crisis, it might be necessary to envisage a system which does not totally rule out vaccination in very restricted zones. The priority is to get out of the crisis. But once the crisis has passed, apply the precautionary principle and tackle the causes rather than the consequences. As you said at another time and in another place, you want to tackle the transportation of live animals, for example. It is not enough! Eight hours is too long to transport live animals! A stop must be put to this system. We must turn our backs on intensive and battery farming. Adopt long-term measures to put an end to this atrocious form of production and to return to extensive farming."@en1
