"Mr President, over the past few weeks, I have received various complaints from Spanish and Dutch meat transporters who apparently have been threatened by Breton farmers and attacked when delivering their products. Supermarkets too are being threatened if they want to buy meat from Spain and the Netherlands, and the French Government is refusing to take action. Although it is the insurers that compensate the direct damage, the damage incurred in the long term, because the meat is no longer bought for fear of threats from a few gangs of thuggish Breton farmers, is a thorn in my side. It is also in contravention of the internal market and the free movement of goods. I therefore ask you to urge the Commission and the French Government to put a stop to this as soon as possible, because if it is not, French wine and champagne may well similarly be rejected in other European countries. This would not benefit the internal market and would even spoil our Christmas to some extent."@en1
