lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there are huge differences within Europe in terms of how we deal with antibiotics. Sometimes, you can draw from your own experiences and that is exactly what I am going to do here. I know from experience, from visits to doctors in Belgium and France, for example, that it seems as if those doctors do not want to disappoint you as a patient, and so you come back from the doctor with a big bag full of drugs, very often including antibiotics. To say nothing of a continent like Africa, where I was once advised to go up to a large sweet jar and take out a large handful of antibiotic pills! The situation in my own country, the Netherlands, could not be more different. There, we are very careful about using antibiotics in humans. You almost have to go down on your knees and beg your doctor just to get some medicine for your illness, for heaven’s sake. On the other hand, farm animals in the Netherlands do not need to go down on their knees to beg for drugs: oh no, drugs are being pressed on them. They are given large amounts of unsolicited antibiotics without anybody asking their permission first. Unfortunately, the Netherlands has championed the use of antibiotics in animals. Ms McAvan has just talked about the strong lobby of people who are raising questions about the link between the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry and resistance, which is now also affecting people. In the Netherlands, pig farmers and their families and people working on pig farms are treated in isolation wards in hospitals. Simply because of the risk of bacterial resistance. The risk is that high. The risks are so high that we should not allow this to run its course. I am therefore really pleased that Mr Dalli from the Commission is planning to come up with a very ambitious proposal. I hope that, after 18 November, this will be followed with firm legislation because, unfortunately, we cannot just leave this to Member States."@en1
