"Mr President, I have three questions. It is apparent that with regard to execution and preventive measures there is a difference in tempo between the various Member States, particularly in relation to the disposal or slaughter of livestock from Great Britain. Can you say anything about this? Will that continue to occur in future with the new regulations?
Secondly, it appears that there are problems in tracing animal movements from the United Kingdom to Europe. Is that true? What is the percentage that cannot be traced?
Thirdly, it has become clear that the transport of livestock over long distances for slaughter has certain attendant difficulties. Will that prompt the Commission to reflect on the possibility of introducing distance tables relating to the transport of animals for slaughter?
I should like to make one further observation. Farmers in Great Britain have suffered an enormous blow from BSE. Now they are again the victims of a serious epidemic, and words are not much help, but a trouble shared is a trouble halved, and I should like to say that we in my country have great sympathy for the plight of farming families in Great Britain."@en1
