lpv:translated text	"I voted against the decision to allow the United States and Canada to export more beef to the European Union in exchange for the lifting of duties on certain imports from EU Member States. The United States will be able to double their beef exports. Adopting this report has put an end to the beef hormone dispute which has lasted for close to 20 years. However, one wonders if this is not at the cost of food safety and the health of European citizens. I am concerned that this undermines the European sanctions imposed in 1988 prohibiting the utilisation of growth hormones in meat livestock. With this vote, the European Parliament is also giving in to the WTO, which, in 1999, condemned the EU for hindering free trade. The EU did not provide any evidence of the dangers of the hormones being used. The WTO forced the EU to renegotiate both these agreements with the United States and Canada. This decision is bound to affect European meat production. Already making a loss and in decline for several years (a 31% drop over 15 years in France), the European agricultural sector will not see a resurgence in meat production, contrary to what the European Parliament is claiming to justify with this vote."@en1
