"We are voting against the European Parliament’s amendments. We believe that it is too early to adopt a position on how badly the poultry meat industry would be hit by an avian flu pandemic. It is typical of this Parliament that, as soon as something unexpected happens, there are calls for financial aid with a view to maintaining stocks, for financial compensation following the destruction of foodstuffs and for the funding of information campaigns designed to win back consumer confidence. We see no reason at this time for meeting these demands.
For how long should the planned economy be allowed to continue within the food industry? Consumers cannot manage without eating and, if they cannot eat poultry, other sectors of the food industry will benefit instead. We believe that the market is perfectly capable of adjusting to the current situation. The poultry sector will have less reason to take preventative measures if it is given promises of compensation in advance."@en1
