"Mr President, I should like to give an explanation of vote to clarify why we in the CDA Party have voted against the report. We have done so because, whilst we are in favour of animal welfare, certainly in the poultry sector, it is unacceptable that we should not prescribe the same requirements for imports.
A second reason is that this report leads to more bureaucracy, while we in Europe need less of it. We want less red tape, also because the impact of the introduction of this directive is only assessed after the event and not before. That strikes us as cheap politics on the back of European poultry farmers, which is not what we want. What we do want is improved welfare, provided this is established on the basis of a fair distribution of the burden between consumers and producers.
I would like Mrs McGuinness to be given another opportunity to speak on this subject."@en1
