lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as I did in the debate on the previous item on the agenda, namely on food safety, I should like to underline once again the crucial importance of a new agricultural policy. An agricultural policy in which animals are fed in a responsible manner. Both on ethical and scientific grounds, we must abandon cannibalism. Moreover, I should like to emphasise that ruminants have not been created to eat animal, but vegetable, proteins. I welcome the fact that at the moment, a large majority is in favour of strict measures, but we will need to keep our finger on the pulse during implementation too. If we want to see the impact of these measures, the Member States will also need to closely monitor compliance with them. Finally, I am pleased to observe that a loophole in the legislation on incineration plants is being plugged. Unfortunately, during the recent foot-and-mouth crisis in England, we have had to witness huge funeral pyres of dead animals. Such a method of destruction is certainly no guarantee against infection, and does not benefit air quality. I hope that these pyres will no longer be needed in future."@en1
