"Mr President, I should like to bring to the attention of the House that a second poultry processing industry has closed down in my constituency in the last two weeks, with the loss of 300 to 400 jobs. That comes after a loss of 600 jobs in a small place like Northern Ireland. When I enquired about the reason for this, I was told in no uncertain terms that it was mainly because of cheap imports from Thailand and Brazil. We have serious questions to ask ourselves in Europe. I believe very strongly that there must be strict standards for food and how chickens are produced. Europe cannot and must not stand by and allow our producers to be forced out of the market. We need clear labelling to show where food is produced. We must give the consumer the choice. Let us at least give our farmers, our producers, half a chance to solve this problem."@en1
