Although it is important to ensure good conditions for animals, the reality of each Member State must be taken into account. In Portugal, where small-scale pig holdings predominate, it is not right to introduce all at once a whole raft of profound changes to holdings, making them economically unviable. The maximalist measures that Parliament has approved do not take into account the reality of a small country like Portugal. Their application would in the short term lead to a concentration of production and the destruction of most of the small and medium-sized holdings, and would aggravate the situation of family farms. The measures are certainly important for the northern countries, but not suited to the situation in the south. Thus, although we continue to support improvements in the conditions and treatment of animals, we voted against this report."@en1
