lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we have to face facts. Foot-and mouth disease, which we thought we had confined to Great Britain, has now reached continental Europe. The massive abattoirs have changed nothing. We are losing our export markets. The United States and Canada have just closed their borders, placing our farmers in a very difficult situation. This scourge affects pig farmers and cattle producers, who have already been greatly weakened by BSE and other diseases. If the situation were to get worse despite the efforts of the Member States to eradicate this disease, would you undertake to provide vaccines as soon as possible? We must also realise that no compensation will totally make up for the financial loss and, above all, the loss of morale. Our farmers have been ground down and we must help them. Although the Swedish Prime Minister declared that there was no question of increasing aid, what do you propose to do to support them? Europe is built around agriculture and it has to be recognised that, in such a situation, we must call on Member States to manage the crisis, as it did in the case of BSE. Now, the future and the survival of our farmers depend on the relevance of the decisions which need to be taken and on European solidarity."@en1
