lpv:translated text	". The production of pigs has been rising sharply for years. Vegetable products that used to be eaten directly by human beings were fed to pigs and the pigs were subsequently eaten by people. The aim was more meat and cheaper meat. Too little attention was paid to animal diseases, animal welfare and human health. If we rear large numbers of animals for slaughter in artificial conditions and pack them together, diseases are give more chance to flourish. Precisely with that overcrowding of sties and the intensive transportation created by trade preventive vaccination offers the only opportunity of limiting outbreaks of disease. Yet this obvious safety measure is not taken. International trade demands meat from non-vaccinated animals. It is short-sighted that the European Commissions continues to cooperate in a non-vaccination policy in advance and mass culling of healthy animals after the event, and that the rapporteur should agree. The approach to swine fever makes trade sacred and animals fair game. This does not promise well for the promised reconsideration of vaccination after the end of the present foot-and-mouth epidemic. As a supporter of preventive vaccination and an opponent of unnecessary slaughter I am unable to agree with the rapporteur’s proposal. * **"@en1
