lpv:spoken text	"I am grateful to Commissioner Liikanen for a characteristically thorough answer to each of the points which I raised in my question. I am grateful for the assurances about communication with the industry as well as with governments. That is very important. I should like to underline, however, that although this is an issue about the spirits industry in the Community as a whole, the fact is, as we all know, that by far the major exporter is the Scotch whisky industry. Commissioner Liikanen will be well aware that production, particularly of malt whisky, for export is concentrated in the peripheral parts of Scotland: in the islands and in the glens of Strathspey and in other remote parts. These parts are suffering very heavily for a variety of reasons, agriculturally and in other ways at the moment. I do not suppose that it is the intention of the Commission to make life impossible in these places but a combination of measures might well have that effect by accident. I ask him to direct his attention to that."@en1
