"The problem is that, as groups of people in even quite poor countries earn a better way of living, their diet changes. This is a very clear pattern and demand for more protein is also increasing. These statistics, the extrapolation if you will, should be taken quite seriously. On the other hand, many projections have been made about where we would be today, which are definitely not being fulfilled. We adopted in the Community already in 1989 a directive on the protection of animals kept for farming purposes. In addition, a protocol annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam relates to the protection and welfare of animals, and these policies and ideas are of course taken into account in the Community's development aid in the livestock sector. We have never supported any husbandry industrialisation project, but we have been supportive of an intensification of traditional farming systems of benefit to smallholders, and environmental conservation has always been taken carefully into account. We are using and taking seriously environmental analyses of the consequences of these activities wherever we are supporting agriculture."@en1
