"Mr President, many football fans in Europe are following the matches in South Korea very closely. They are being overwhelmed by alternate feelings of surprise and disappointment. Who, for example, had expected the French team to be out of the World Cup so early on? Captain Zidane definitely had not. In fact, the team of the candidate Member State Slovenia has been eliminated too. The homecoming of Zidane and his French team constitutes a risk to millions of animals in Europe. South Korea is currently suffering with foot and mouth disease. The virus can travel with returning players and fans in food and on their footwear.
Control at European airports and outposts is minimal and should be stepped up drastically, preferably along American lines. Disinfection and completing a questionnaire by travellers who arrive back from FMD-sensitive areas should become standard procedure. One by one, the European teams are disappearing from the green pitches in Korea. It would not acceptable for all sheep and cows soon to have to leave the green fields through laxness at European borders."@en1
