lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the outbreak of mad cow disease heralded a crisis in cattle farming. Driven by a desire to cut costs and increase production, the cattle feed industry has completely ignored the order of creation. Cows became cannibals and the animals’ nature was no longer taken into consideration. The Commission was right to introduce a ban on the use of animal meal. I hope that the Commission does take account of each animal's individuality and does not buckle under the pressure from industry to re-admit the use of fishmeal in animal feed. I have never seen a cow by a ditch, looking for fish. Given the poor fish stocks, it is a mark of even less insight if fishermen are encouraged to supply young fish to the fishmeal industry. In his report, the rapporteur, Mr Stevenson, calls on the Commission to promote the growth of crops containing protein so as to replace animal meal. I wholeheartedly support him in this appeal, particularly also to protect the EU from imports of genetically modified soy, which is, again, an organism whose characteristics are not being taken seriously."@en1
