lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, avian flu is once again knocking on Europe’s door. The cases of highly suspect mass poultry deaths reported in Romania and Turkey are very worrying. The fear of a global avian flu epidemic is real. Extensive plans on how to cope with this threat are being drawn up by all responsible European governments and by the Commission. Unfortunately, the Turkish Government does not appear to be taking this problem seriously. This has been clearly demonstrated in two instances. Firstly, EU officials reported that the results of important tests were delayed and are still awaited because Turkey was late in sending samples to the appropriate laboratory. Secondly, in a public statement yesterday, the Turkish Minister of Agriculture declared that ‘there is no reason for concern’. Mr President, could you convey to the Turkish Government our deep concern at the complacent and irresponsible way in which the authorities in that candidate member country seem to be dealing with this extremely serious matter? In addition, could you stress to the Commission that we expect drastic action to be taken in order to prevent this disease spreading from Turkey into other neighbouring countries?"@en1
