lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there is one point which I want to make about trade between Europe and Brazil, and that is the standard that we observe here in Europe, as far as meat production is concerned, and the strict rules that we lay down for the European meat trade. That notwithstanding, we accept meat imported from Brazil, a place where no such rules apply. I think that it is time for the Commission to address itself to this matter and ask questions of its own. Why is there a big difference between the stringent standard observed here in Europe and the standard permitted in Brazil as regards the traceability of meat, stock tags, and foot and mouth disease? It is time for the Commission to raise these matters, as the great discrepancy in terms of standards is seriously disquieting for customers. Trade is one thing; health for life is quite another."@en1
