The European Commission proposals for the revision of Poseima fall well short of meeting expectations. In view of the good results achieved since it was launched, the profound qualitative change that occurred with the introduction of Article 299(2) of the Treaty on European Union and the successive declarations of intention by various European Councils, one would have hoped for more. This opinion of Parliament therefore takes on greater importance, and it is essential that the Council should accept it in its entirety.
I must highlight the proposals made by the rapporteur, Mr Martínez Martínez, either on his own initiative or based on the contributions of several Members, including myself, through the presentation of 20 draft amendments to the Commission’s text, which I am pleased to see included in Parliament’s position, which has been approved by such a substantial majority. Nevertheless, although I voted in favour of Parliament’s position, I must make the following reservations:
I cannot accept that Poseima should remain restricted to the agricultural sector and residually to the fisheries sector;
I cannot accept the ‘principle of budgetary neutrality’ either, which means that the spending levels proposed for the future will be less than at the start of the programme in the early 1990s (still without the article in the Treaty on European Union);
Neither can I accept the nature of the measure proposed to safeguard the principal production of the Azores: milk. I consider the 70 000 additional tonnes allocated to Azorean farmers insufficient and I disagree with the transitional nature of the measure, in force only until 2003, in clear contradiction to Article 299(2) of the Treaty on European Union.
I hope, however, that the possible reduction in some measures has been averted, as was apparent in the text of the Commission proposal. In this respect, I must point to the opinion approved by the Committee on Budgets, annexed to the Martínez Martínez report, which addressed all these reservations."@en1
