"Madam President, I would urge you to consider the position that now exists in relation to the foot-and-mouth crisis in the United Kingdom. I respect the point you make, that this was discussed by the Conference of Presidents last week and given the situation at that time it was decided not to place it on the agenda this week.
Could I just point out the number of outbreaks in the UK yesterday was higher than at any time in the three weeks since the crisis started. The situation is now out of control and even though the British Agriculture Minister is insisting there is no crisis, the whole of the EU views with alarm what is happening in the UK. Ireland has a particular interest, but so do the French, as do all of us in the 15 Member States and beyond. The situation has changed so much since the matter was discussed by the Council of Presidents that I would urge you to find time, perhaps during the discussion of the regulation you have just referred to, for us to have a Commission update this week here in Parliament."@en1
