"At a time when the issue of reducing the transport of food products over long distances is become increasingly urgent, with local production being encouraged and an adjustment to market demands, it is vital that a boost is given to the production of sheep meat in the EU.
It is unacceptable for the EU market to be supplied with sheep meat from thousands of kilometres away at exorbitant prices, while our own producers are being forced to sell their products at ridiculous prices and leave this sector.
Romania has the fifth largest number of head of sheep among European Union Member States, but sheep livestock numbers have fallen by more than 40%. Nevertheless, the export of sheep meat is an important part of our economy.
Given these factors and bearing in mind that serious social, economic and environmental repercussions could arise in the long term, resulting in an age-old tradition becoming lost, Romania supports Ireland’s action and is eagerly awaiting proper support measures from the Commission and Council, which will halt the increasing decline in the sheep meat sector in the European Union."@en1
