lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am an elk hunter in Lapland in northern Sweden. If we do not hunt elk every year, the elk population grows rapidly, the number of people killed in road accidents rises and there is a considerable increase in damage to the forests. When, in September, we begin hunting in the morning, it is often freezing, and the climate at that time of the year corresponds to the temperature in a refrigerator. Sometimes, it even corresponds to the temperature in a freezer. In my part of the country, there is, from the environmental point of view, no better refrigerator for the hunter than nature’s own cold-storage room. The bigger the EU becomes, the more difficult it becomes to regulate in detail using EU provisions. The EU directives must hold good in all parts of the EU. They must provide scope for adjusting the provisions according to different circumstances. Member States with up-and-running procedures governing the inspection of game before it is released onto the market must be able to retain their rules. In Sweden, politicians who want to influence opinion against European cooperation have exploited this proposal for a directive to cast suspicion on the EU as a threat to traditional hunting. It is important to emphasise that they are mistaken, for the EU has no legal powers to regulate hunting for household requirements and the use of game for private consumption. This also emphasises the need for general provisions governing hunting to be decided upon in accordance with the subsidiarity principle. Through Mr Schnellhardt’s efforts, the section on game in this directive has become really commendable."@en1
