". I wish to put it on record that I voted against a number of proposals put forward in the Leinen and Mendez de Vigo report on the Laeken Summit. I would like to highlight the fact that I voted against Paragraph 4(d) which calls for "The removal of the distinction between compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure". This is yet again, an outlandish attack on the CAP which has served us well. I do not believe such a move is in the best interests of the future of the Union. The CAP forms the bedrock on which the Community was formed. It still represents certainty in a difficult economic climate. As a result of the adoption of this text and other proposals, I abstained on the final vote. I deeply regret that 430 Members of the House voted against this fundamental policy of the CAP, as I outlined earlier. The European Union has been a bulwark against recession in the past. It has been of immense advantage to my own country, Ireland and I know it will continue to be, in the future, a powerhouse for the citizens of Europe. But we should not pull down the good structures and leave our farmers and their families on their own."@en1
