lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to concur with what has been said by many of the previous speakers. I should also like to thank the Commissioner for what he has said. I do notice, however, that, although he is introducing a large number of measures, he fails to mention the best piece of news, namely that it was the farmers who discovered that something was wrong with their pigs, because their sows were not breeding properly. It is down to the farmers. This means, then, that there is a very important lesson we should draw from this, and that we should be aware that the inspection system, however effectively it has been set up, has failed thus far. With all these fine measures that are now being proposed, I have one overriding question, and I believe that Mrs Roth-Behrendt has already mentioned it as well. How does waste legislation relate to what we do with our cattle feed? Who monitors this? Commissioner, if you say that, according to Commissioner Wallström, if waste legislation had been enforced, we would not be facing any problems now, then I think you should ask the Irish authorities why they did not verify that these hormones landed up in a waste processor in an improper manner. Why did they subsequently not check at the border that these hormones were being exported to a company which should raise question marks, at any rate in Belgium? This means, therefore, that in this respect, the Irish and the Belgians have dropped major clangers. Mr President, why – and I am also speaking on behalf of my own country – did we fail to check these companies when we know that, in addition to manure, they also produce their own feed and that they are already shrouded in great suspicion? What about product liability legislation? I hope that those who lost out will be receiving compensation from the governments responsible."@en1
