lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, since 1989, when the definition and labelling of alcoholic beverages was introduced, there have been many changes. Some traditional spirit-producing countries have become members of the European Union. First there was Sweden and Finland, and now the countries of the second-to-the-last round of expansion – the Baltic countries and Poland. It is from the North that the name derives from, and the traditional methods for manufacturing this spirit. Traditionally, vodka has always been manufactured from grain. In some places it is also made from potatoes and sugar beets. Now that traditional vodka-producing countries have become EU members, we would like to see that namely alcoholic spirit beverages made from grain, potatoes and sugar beets be called and be labelled as such. A consumer needs to know what whisky is, and what it is made from. A consumer has the right to buy a product made according to the original and traditional recipes and from traditional ingredients. If this is applicable to whisky, then why can it not be applied to vodka? I urge my colleagues to vote for a fair compromise: vodka – only from grain, potatoes and sugar beets."@en1
