". Mr President, in relation to Mr Bové’s statement and the previous interesting exchange of opinions between Mr Dess and Mr Jahr, I would like to say that in the report concerning animal transport, which I am currently working on and which will soon be the subject of the vote in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, I am placing a strong emphasis on the issue of local slaughterhouses, which should indeed be supported and developed. It is one of the ways of strengthening the idea of regional produce, and ensuring that such products are truly local and produced in individual regions. Returning to our core subject, we can observe that both across the world and in Europe a process is taking place whereby traditional agricultural production based on natural methods is being displaced by industrial agriculture. An ever-increasing part of agricultural production originates from large industrial farms. Natural agriculture based on family farms applying traditional methods of production is in decline. This is a very detrimental process that leads to a reduction in the quality of food, a deterioration of animal welfare conditions, negative environmental impacts and many other undesirable consequences. I am strongly in favour of defining local produce as goods that are produced entirely within a given region, using traditional regional production methods that are environmentally friendly and promote animal welfare. This should be the criterion used for classifying such produce as locally produced goods. I cannot imagine a situation whereby meat products originating from a large industrial animal farm - such as those present in certain regions of Poland and managed by, for example, Danish businesses – would be regarded as local produce from a particular Polish region. Such a situation should not occur."@en1
