lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, after the BSE epidemic it is the turn of foot-and-mouth disease. This is not a coincidence, it is a combination of the ideological errors made in European integration. The first error is the ideology of globalisation, which Mrs Auroi spoke about. The virus arrived from India; it could have arrived from Pakistan; it could have arrived from Zimbabwe. When everything is allowed to move around freely, even the foot-and-mouth virus moves around freely. The second error is the race to achieve profitability. In the name of health precautions, we wanted to have abattoirs which were like laboratories at the Pasteur Institute. Abattoirs were integrated and animals were sent there from the length and breadth of Britain. That is how the virus spread throughout the whole of Britain. The third error is that of immigration. The 20 000 sheep imported into France, which introduced the British virus, were destined to have their throats slit according to the sacrifice of Abraham as part of the Muslim festival of Aïd el Kebir. With the carotid from these sheep we got the virus for free! The fourth error is that of the race for profits. Vaccination was suppressed in the name of Adam Smith and in the name of profitability. And in the name of Adam Smith British trains go off the rails, British cows go off the rails and British sheep go off the rails! So what are we to do in the face of such serious errors? Well, the solutions seem to lie in two directions. The first is that of justice, taking responsibility for compensating innocent farmers. The second is that of moderation: a sense of moderation for animals, who do not need to be slaughtered as they recover after a few weeks; a sense of moderation in the media, who are playing a game of Apocalypse Now; a sense of moderation in terms of health with vaccination, as in Argentina; and a sense of moderation for the European industrial agricultural model, which should achieve greater moderation and balance."@en1
