lpv:spoken text	"I have joined with my British Labour colleagues in the PSE Group in voting against this report. As President of the European Parliament's All Party Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals, I naturally have a special interest in the Kreissl-Dörfler report. I support measures to prevent a similar outbreak of foot and mouth disease, as proposed in the report. I reject claims regarding the legality of the cull. Whilst very regrettable, the cull was perceived at the time as the most effective measure to end the outbreak. It is very easy to be wise in hindsight. The approach of the UK Government with respect to the culls was approved by the European Commission. Any report such as this requires accurate information. As, for example, the statistics quoted appear to be contrary to official UK figures, it brings into question the wider points of the report. For this reason, and with reservations as above, I have voted against the report."@en1
