lpv:translated text	". Shortly, when we discuss swine fever later in the agenda, it will again become apparent that what matters in livestock farming is still more meat, cheap meat and satisfying the requirements of world trade. Not only people and their environment but also animal welfare is sacrificed to the free market. National rules for protection are brushed aside by great economic interests and European liberalisation. The further liberalisation is carried, the more it works to the advantage of whoever produces cheapest. The fact that poor working methods are used in order to be so cheap does not matter. Pigs and chickens are shut up in very unnatural circumstances in too small a floorspace where they get in each other’s way. That saves space and hence costs. Quite rightly individuals and organisations have campaigned for years to highlight this fact. For that reason it is positive that some more political interest is at last emerging in animal suffering caused by intensive livestock farming. Every regulation that brings some improvement will have my support, although I am far from being convinced that approval of this proposal will put an end to unnecessary animal suffering."@en1
