"Madam President, I want to denounce today an act of aggression against one of the pillars of the European Union: the internal market and the free circulation of goods and people. Recently, the Catalan Meat Industry Federation and certain Catalan newspapers have reported that, in France, trucks coming from Catalonia have been attacked and damaged by French farmers. The meat products some trucks were carrying were completely destroyed by French pickets. These acts of aggression have been repeated twice since the beginning of 2011. The last incident happened just a few weeks ago, when French pickets stopped another lorry full of meat from Catalonia, assaulted the driver and then sprayed diesel over 20 000 kilos of fresh meat. This pressure by some French farmers’ unions, destroying products coming from outside France, has had a very rapid impact on clients of the Catalan meat industry, as a result of which its sales have dropped by 50%. I have tabled a parliamentary written question to the Commission in the hope that the European Union will stop this unacceptable aggression."@en1
