lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I thank Mr Maat for the skilful and sensitive way in which he has handled a complex dossier. I am particularly grateful that both the Commission proposal and the report recognise the practicalities of transporting animals in remote and island regions, such as the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The distinction between journeys for slaughter and for other purposes is an important one. Other than in the most exceptional circumstances, eight hours on the road should be sufficient for slaughter and the recommendation in the report to promote the use of local slaughterhouses should make these circumstances less likely. Movements of animals for other purposes – such as bringing on, breeding or restocking – may genuinely require longer journey times. However, both the Commission proposal and the report seem to allow too great a repetition of travel time sequences. Our Amendment No 105 seeks to place a limit on these, but one that is still consonant with reasonable farming practices."@en1
