lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would add my voice to those praising Mrs Roth-Behrendt. I think you are an excellent and outstanding example, not only of an accomplished parliamentarian but also of what we are so much in need of, namely energetic women in politics. Thank you for your work, your efforts and the character you show. You are needed. It only remains to observe that a compromise is a compromise. I can fully understand the animal protection organisations’ concern about the fact that it will take such a long time for the ban to be introduced and about the fact that so very many thousands of animals will be destroyed for the sake of our vanity. In spite of that, I am pleased that we nonetheless arrived at some sort of milestone, or something to grasp and hold on to. I am also very pleased that consumer protection has been taken seriously, that we are to obtain indications of contents and that there are to be bans on certain substances that are clearly unsuitable, above all perhaps when they form part of preparations we use on children and young people who are more vulnerable than ourselves. On the subject of animal protection, I should like to look ahead and broaden the debate a little. We keep seeing these appalling films of animal transportation and slaughter, revealing how we in Europe treat our animals. Imagine if Parliament had influence and the right of codecision on issues relating to agricultural policy. Imagine the situation, given the attitude and views on animal protection of an incredibly large majority in Parliament. Just think how much progress we might have made, even though we know that the democratic form of decision-making is compromise – a democratic compromise whose only promise to us is that we shall never get exactly what we want."@en1
