lpv:translated text	"Mr President, at the height of the two-fold crisis of BSE and foot-and-mouth disease in October 2001, the Commission proved incapable of managing the beef market. This led to the collapse of cost prices and a rise in retail price. In the face of this, the French trade unions shouldered their responsibilities, taking part, at the specific request of the Jospin government, in negotiations to prevent the collapse of the high-quality end of the market by establishing a minimum price. This, to us, is a responsible attitude. The Commission does not take the same view and heavily penalised what it calls an agreement on the price of meat. The fact that these trade unions spoke out against CAP reform does not mean that the Commission should eradicate them. That, Mr President, is why I am calling on you to ask the Commission to reverse this disgraceful decision, which equates to a genuine attack on the freedom of trade unions. I would also appeal to you to ask the Commission to come to Parliament in order to provide an explanation, pursuant to Rule 38 of the Rules of Procedure. The European Union can only function if it remains humanistic and fraternal."@en1
