"Mr President, over one thousand sheep farming businesses throughout Europe have now been hit by the Schmallenberg virus and, as the disease is carried by biting insects, this number is likely to increase further as temperatures start to rise in springtime. New outbreaks are occurring at regular intervals, particularly in countries with intensive livestock farming, such as Germany, France, England and the Netherlands. For this reason, we need to take a new approach and move away from intensive livestock farming and the associated diseases caused by humans. We need to move towards businesses with smaller structures, run along ecological lines, familiar from the Alpine regions, including my own country, Austria. I believe we would be much wiser to follow preventive, sustainable, ecologically-oriented agricultural practices, rather than the emergency measures, compensation programmes and vaccination campaigns that we currently favour."@en1
