lpv:translated text	". The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development is also right to be concerned at the increasing need for imports of often genetically modified soya cake from the United States, Brazil and Argentina. The EU currently imports almost twice as much cattle feed as it produces itself. The old solution of feeding animal meal and slaughter waste to cows as a source of protein is no longer possible since the advent of mad cow disease, or BSE, but that is the only change that seems to be generally accepted now. We are still not able to raise questions about how we produce our food in general. Is it reasonable to deliberately feed vegetable matter to pigs and then to eat the pigs ourselves, bearing in mind that the meat of these animals has less nutritional value than the original product? Is it reasonable to lift the ban on including fishmeal in processed animal feed as an additional source of protein? The oceans are being fished until they are empty, and the fishermen of the South now respond to all proposals for limiting catches by accusing the North of causing the problem by producing fishmeal. A better part of the proposal is the idea that farmers should grow more leguminous and oil-producing plants as part of a crop rotation system. *"@en1
