lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I am tempted to say that a political pesticide to deal with the rampant weed that is EU regulation would do us all a favour. When I look at some of these amendments and proposals, a proposal like the 10-metre rule, I detect within it a gross degree of overkill. I think we have to face some facts. Without controlled use of pesticides in our agriculture, we will drive more food production to less regulated regions of the world, jeopardising quality and food safety. Perhaps of even more interest to some, without fungicides and herbicides to protect and cure disease in fine turf, many golf and bowling surfaces would become weed-infested and unplayable. Yes, pesticides must be controlled, but our measures must be based on sound science and be practical at farm and street level. The strident codes of practice governing the use in my country are, I believe, adequate, and therefore I will vote against those dogma-driven changes which some would wish to impose."@en1
