lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I have been most surprised by the arguments from the Council and the Commission suggesting that a marketing ban would be, as they say, "not WTO-secure", yet the WTO rules in this area are distinctly unclear. It is just as likely that a marketing ban will prove to be "WTO-secure" as it will "WTO-insecure". The point is this: the arguments about WTO rules are purely hypothetical. It is not entirely appropriate in my view to move from the arguments of substance for and against a marketing ban to a much more convoluted and esoteric debate about WTO law. A more honest approach – the approach advocated by this Parliament – is to adopt a marketing ban as soon as possible, and then deal with the WTO aspects separately in the unlikely event that our laws are successfully challenged in the WTO. That would be a better approach, both right in principle and right in practice."@en1
