lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the transport of animals within the EU and from the EU to countries outside it has on quite a few occasions been comprehensively criticised. Most recently, we have received information about the disgraceful conditions under which animals have been exported from the EU to Lebanon. That worries us. Will the Commission prioritise this problem? We hope so, but are not completely convinced. Another matter that gives rise to concern is the reports on financial fraud issued by OLAF at regular intervals. Recently, these concerned complaints relating to financial fraud in connection with the transport of animals to Lebanon. In purely financial terms, subsidies for the export of animals from the EU to third countries total approximately SEK 60–100 million per year. Does this amount to properly used tax revenue? We hope that the Commission will take animal protection seriously and that we do not have to read further reports concerning misused export subsidies."@en1
