lpv:spoken text	"This resolution is a historic opportunity to end the global ivory trade and save elephants from extinction. Every year 30 000 elephants are slaughtered by poachers who sell their ivory tusks illegally for massive profits. We must save these wonderful animals for future generations, we simply cannot allow this barbaric trade to continue. The European Parliament calls upon Member States to ban all imports, exports and commercial sales of ivory products until wild elephant populations are no longer threatened by poaching. To support this ban, all countries must also introduce tougher measures to tackle corruption, strengthen controls at border crossing points and put in place stringent penalties against criminal groups trafficking illegal wildlife products."@en1
