lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the long-distance transport of live animals is a barbaric practice, and it should stop. Every year, three million animals are still being transported within Europe and to third countries. If animals are to be slaughtered, this should be done as close to their place of rearing and fattening as possible. Animals are not commodities that can simply be transported; meat, on the other hand, is a product, and it be. The transport of animals that are not intended for slaughter must meet all animal welfare rules. Although it may be necessary to provide for exemptions in sparsely populated and remote areas, the transport of slaughter animals over long distances must be banned. Subsidies for transport of this kind, which currently still amount to EUR 60 million per annum, must be abolished. Mr Maat's report is a praiseworthy attempt to regulate transport more effectively, but it fails to accommodate our principles and our expectations."@en1
