lpv:spoken text	"I am worried that maybe this scientific report is a way of trying to avoid reducing the time and the distance to what Parliament wanted. There was consensus between the Environment Committee and the Agriculture Committee on the reduction of the overall journey time and distance. It is very important that the Commission takes this on board. I am sorry to say I do not find your answer quite sufficient in relation to the export refunds. You talk about respecting all conditions of animal welfare and say you need a well-balanced solution. European taxpayers do not want their money going to fund something that causes distress and harm to animals. We need to stop the export refunds granted in relation to third countries for slaughter, irrespective of whether conditions are being complied with or not. It is wrong that our money is being used in this way. This is the message that came out clearly from Parliament. I would like a commitment from the Commission that it is going to abolish export refunds to third countries for slaughter."@en1
