"Mr President, I have a question to put to Commissioner Fischler. When Commissioner Fischler passes, as all of us must, to the other side – although not for a long time I trust – and he meets St. Francis of Assisi who asks him: ‘Commissioner, why so much slaughter for nothing? Why so many animals stored without ever getting to market?’ what will he reply?
What I mean is that we have arrived at a certain point. We are in a period of crisis. Of course, compensation has to be paid, including to the holdings responsible for the crisis, if they are not to go under completely. But, at the same time, we need to break away from the outmoded concept of industrialised, intensive livestock farming.
In this sense, I think that, while dealing with the crisis, the Commission’s measures should look to find an alternative model. And a distinction should be made between the countries which are responsible for the crisis, which invented BSE, and the countries which protected and still protect the European Union, between importing countries and countries which saturate the market with exports and ruin the budget and between small and large companies, so that we can move towards a model of small, ecological livestock holdings."@en1
