lpv:translated text	". The committee chaired by Mrs Redondo Jiménez is giving farmers a wonderful Christmas present by proposing to put an end to the shameful systematic slaughter of between 6 and 10 million animals struck down by the virus. Reintroducing vaccination, especially since we now have detection tests that are capable of distinguishing serologically between viral infection and immunological response to the vaccine, is the correct solution. There were 320 000 cases of infection in France in 1952 compared to 2 030 at the peak of the UK crisis in 2001. Ten years after vaccination was introduced, there were as few as 148 cases, and 30 years on, only 18. Vaccination is effective and objections based on the cost of vaccinating 300 million animals, like objections from world trade requiring countries to be free from infection, do not hold water. The costs incurred by the epidemic are greater than the costs of vaccination. As for the commercial need, it is extraordinary that this argument should be used when it is internal national consumption that absorbs most of the production. Unless, of course, foot and mouth disease was merely a pretext for getting rid of surplus meat and avoiding storage costs. Not to mention the market sectors opened up for New Zealand sheep, New Zealand being part of the UK-USA alliance of English-speaking countries, of which the US is also a member, and the US has benefited from BSE, which also broke out on the territory of its ally, Britain, which would officially declare that transmission to humans was feasible in 1996, in other words at the peak of the battle between Europe and the US on hormone-treated beef."@en1
