lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I salute the rapporteurs, who have done a very good job: skilled, knowledgeable and well thought through. I am very pleased that primary production has been included and that we now finally cover the whole of the food chain. I am also very pleased that individual producer liability has been specified again in the food legislation. We shall not get anywhere merely with ‘policing’ power if people themselves do not take responsibility for their companies, work and own actions. I personally am incredibly pleased about Mr Schnellhardt’s willingness to compromise, so that we now have Article 4.4 (Amendment No 31) through which Europe’s endlessly rich and varied stock of traditional food can remain on the market without individual Member States thereby being given the opportunity to ignore the regulations and label all their products as traditional. By means of this wording, we have also ensured that we are not concerned here only with small-scale production. Some of Europe’s most important food exports in fact consist of traditional cheeses and hams and so on which require special production methods without, however, being hazardous as a result. I am very pleased that we have got this section through, for it would have been terrible if we had obtained food legislation in Europe which only suited Nestlé and McDonald's. Finally, I want to point out that I too am very pleased that we have arrived at sensible and sustainable compromises where hunting is concerned. I live in the middle of the forest in Sweden and should scarcely dare come home at all if some elk hunter had got the idea that I had banned elk hunting. That is an extremely emotive issue, and I think we have arrived at a good compromise which both pheasant and elk hunters will be able to live with."@en1
