lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, it is a sad reflection on mankind that we can put a man on the moon, but we are not capable of keeping some of our most valuable animals alive on earth. We give the highest financial value to those commodities that are scarcest on earth, but sadly that logic applies to animals as well – even to the point that the rarer a species becomes, the more sought-after and the more valuable it or its body parts become. It is now the stroke of midnight for a number of the world’s most endangered species. However, there is still time – but only if mankind can work together to get a message to all cultures on earth that we cannot go on like this, to outlaw the immoral trade in animal products from rare species, and to urge all authorities to join in enforcement. I commend CITES and I welcome the accession of the EU."@en1
