"Mr President, Commissioner, I am sorry to have to say that the report by Mr Aylward is actually more about rescuing the sheep and goat sector in Europe than about ensuring its future.
We hardly noticed when sheep and goats, like horses, practically disappeared from our landscape. No longer do we hear the sound of bells or barking dogs. Products derived from local raw materials are disappearing too. I am referring to products such as milk, meat, wool and leather.
I believe that there is still a chance of saving the breeding of these animals, at least in certain areas. If we fail to implement at least the measures proposed by the rapporteur, zoos will be the only place where will be able to see these creatures in future. If production is not profitable, we can of course buy in supplies from New Zealand, Australia and other countries. We should, however, strive to save our own fauna, of which sheep and goats are a part. It is important to bear that in mind."@en1
