lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of this resolution as it highlights one of the most pressing issues facing the EU internally and externally. We have decided in the EU to push for high food production standards – conscious of the needs for food safety and quality. We do not permit the use of chlorine dipping of chicken carcases within the EU for produce consumed in the EU and therefore it makes no sense to allow imports of US chicken into the EU which is so treated. In recent months we have a similar problem with imports of beef from Brazil – where traceability standards fall far short of those in the EU. We may face a similar problem when we ban caged egg production in the EU but end up importing from outside the EU powdered egg products produced in caged systems. If the EU insists on internal standards, it must be prepared to defend them and stop imports which fail to meet our internal standards."@en1
