lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, by a strange coincidence I would like to raise exactly the same point. I have had literally hundreds of letters from concerned EU citizens on the Council’s failure to reach an agreement on 24 April on the Commission’s proposal on the transportation of live animals. Each year some three million live animals are transported around Europe. Many face journeys of 50 hours, some as long as 90 hours. The suffering of the animals on these journeys is terrible. As Mrs Villiers said, this Parliament has on four or five occasions voted for a maximum journey time of eight or nine hours. We have been ignored by the Council and we need to put pressure on it. My personal preference is for the transportation of animals on the hook, not on the hoof, but if we cannot have that, the minimum we should have is decent conditions for these animals and an end to extra-long journey times. I hope the Council will at long last respond, not just to this Parliament but to the citizens of the European Union."@en1
