lpv:spoken text	"I also have concerns about the proposal on animal transport. The UK currently has a derogation from EU law whereby the export of horses and ponies from the UK to the continent for slaughter is prohibited. As you know, the UK has a number of semi-wild herds of ponies in the New Forest and Dartmoor. As I understand it, the proposal on animal transport that you have recently published will force the UK to lift that derogation and allow the export of hundreds, if not thousands, of horses and ponies for slaughter to France, Belgium and Italy. I think that is an absolutely shocking proposition, given that Britain is a nation of horse-lovers and given the particular cultural values which British people attach to horses and ponies. Will the Commission be able to support the amendment that I plan to table in the Environment Committee which would allow the UK to prohibit the export of horses and ponies from the UK for slaughter or further fattening?"@en1
