". I voted in favour of this report because it lives up to the expectations of Portuguese organisations in the fruit and vegetable sector, which have called for a drastic overhaul of the COM in processed fruit and vegetables, which they consider to be extremely damaging to our national interests. The loss of 7% of the tomato quota this year and the risk of losing more than 10% of the remaining quota next year have made a revision of this COM before the end of the year crucial for Portuguese farming. The present report puts forward amendments on a range of points that address the interests of European production in general and of Portuguese production in particular. These are: the inflexibility of the current system for processed tomato-based products, the quantity levels guaranteed for processed tomato, pear and citrus-based products, the complexity of the operational fund system and the management of export refunds. It is now absolutely vital for the Portuguese Government not to give in and for it to staunchly defend its specific national interests on each of these points. Indeed, it would be quite grotesque and humiliating if the European Parliament’s stance were firmer and more beneficial to Portuguese interests than our own government's!"@en1
