"Mr President, first of all I should like to thank the rapporteurs on these important issues. I shall just take a few minutes to comment on the proposal for a Council regulation on the new COM for olive oil, first thanking Mr Jové Peres for the competence and willingness he has shown, which have led to the considerable understanding of our Committee. The conditions were not right for a thorough reform and so we have chosen to bring forward the introduction of some important rules allowing this sector to face the new challenges posed by the World Trade Organisation, the liberalisation of the markets and the reform of the common agricultural policy. This has been the driving force that has led us to identify specific rules and requests for new aid. In particular, for us it is important to give the origin of the oil as the place where the olives were harvested and not where it was produced. We have the duty of transparency and of coherence with the principles of traceability: it is a matter of courtesy to the producers and the consumers. I hope the Council will approve our position and issue an order to revise Regulation 2815. Equally worthy of consideration are the ban on blending olive oil with other oils or fats and the incentive to the producer organisation to increase market supply capacity, because this is the paradox to overcome: a rising demand for consumption of this precious commodity and a fall in prices. With these measures we think the whole sector can be sustained, and I am pleased to finish with a particular comment on the method we have used, that is to say the meeting of Parliament with the whole sector, which has led to these points which I hope we will approve today in this House and which I hope may guide the final decision of the Council."@en1
