"Mr President, can I say that it is rather appropriate that as we debate this very important report, and I thank the rapporteur for it, 30 Irish farmers are staging a sit-in protest in the offices of the European Commission in Dublin and they intend to stay overnight. This is a really serious matter. This report reflects the frustration of members of the Committee on Agriculture, and our farmers and consumers, about the incoherence between Europe’s agriculture and food policy and trade policy. That is why the words in this report are strong. Some people find them too strong, but I think they reflect that sense of frustration. And, from an Irish beef farming perspective, you will decimate our livestock sector, a low income sector. You will destroy our environment. Also, may I add a few words about climate change consistency. The carbon footprint of Brazilian beef is four times that of Irish beef, so please read this report. I call urgently for it to be supported."@en1
