lpv:translated text	"Following the last ‘reform’ of the common organisation of the market in the olive oil sector and now that the transitional period has come to an end for the Commission to change the aid system, from aid for production to aid per tree, the Commission has presented its strategy for olive oil quality and is extending the present aid system for a further two years. This extension is to be welcomed, but the Commission has failed to provide a solution on three points that were not resolved in the 1998 reform. These are: the establishment of compensation aid for small producers, as proposed by Parliament; a ban on the sale of olive oil mixed with other fats and labelling that does not mislead the consumer and which only gives the name ‘olive oil’ to products made from olives. Furthermore, doing away with mechanisms for public intervention and replacing them with private stockpiling has not managed to prevent a fall in prices and the consequences of this on reducing farmers’ incomes. Salvador Jové’s report seeks to resolve some of these fundamental issues, particularly with regard to blends, and I support his ideas on this matter. The report by Paulo Casaca undermines the European Parliament’s resolutions by using an opinion on the report by the Court of Auditors to go ahead with proposals to replace the current system of aid for production with direct aid to farmers, which opens the way to the Commission’s option of per tree premiums. We must reject this proposal. Aid per tree would not only have damaging consequences for production and for employment – with the olives not being harvested – but we would also lose a key element for monitoring the production of olive oil and its quality. This would consequently increase opportunities for fraudulent practices."@en1
