".
We voted against the whole Sturdy report and most amendments to it, including those of the ELDR and the Green group, because they are in favour of an increase in subsidies and promote intensive, animal-unfriendly husbandry.
The collapse of the beef market is not the fault of external causes, but is directly connected with the way in which production and trade are organised in the livestock sector and with the way in which crises such as BSE and foot-and-mouth disease are being combated in the EU, with the support of the sector. The sector is therefore now experiencing the consequence of what we regard as the normal operation of market forces. There is no reason for further increasing subsidies. Mr Sturdy’s proposal to take the pressure off the market by organising subsidies in such a way that instead of beef more veal is produced – from crated calves, that is – is the height of cynicism."@en1
