lpv:translated text	"Mr President, during the discussions on the Duff-Voggenhuber report, some Members have made some very amusing comments, comparing Members who disagreed with them with ostriches. They have done so with good humour, and I congratulate them for that as, on the same subject last year, they did so rather violently – which just goes to show that we were right to amend the Rules of Procedure. I would like to come to the defence of this much-maligned bird, because no naturalist has ever seen an ostrich put its head in the sand. On the contrary, it is well known that, when approached by a lion, an ostrich will sacrifice itself to protect its young, by moving away from the nest and allowing the beast to eat it. The ostrich, therefore, is there to sacrifice itself for future generations: it is a symbol of courage and devotion! So, for any scientist or naturalist, being described as an ostrich is not an insult, but an honour!"@en1
