lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I have been indicating for a long time that I wished to speak. It is rather unfair that if you are at the back of the Chamber or if you are not at least six foot tall, you cannot gain attention. I just want to make one point in relation to this whole issue of foot-and-mouth. As one of my colleagues from Ireland mentioned, it cannot be taken in isolation because of the amount that Ireland exports. European tax-payers are funding the live export of animals, which is just exacerbating the situation. We have to stop live exports. In fact, that is what is responsible for bringing it into Northern Ireland. Luckily, the Irish Government has been able to contain it; the same goes for Britain. So really we have to bring an end to European tax-payers' money being used for the cruel and inhumane policy of live exports."@en1
