lpv:translated text	". The Commission proposal for a regulation on tobacco is unacceptable. It is unacceptable politically because it disadvantages tobacco farmers, on the pretext of protecting health, when the Commission has spent millions on products such as red meat and alcohol, which are also harmful to health. It is unacceptable socially because it disadvantages tens of thousands of tobacco-growing families in the poorest areas of the European Union, who are unable to grow alternative crops. It is unacceptable to the state because phasing out subsidies for Community tobacco will not reduce consumption by a single cigarette. All it will do is increase sales by American multinationals. The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development accepted my amendment to delete recital 5 which talks of phasing out tobacco subsidies. It also accepted my amendments on replacing premiums on Tsebelia – Mavra and on conducting a special study into the ratio between Community production, imports and tobacco consumption. Despite the fact that I beg to differ with the Committee on Agriculture's resolution on certain points, it is on the right track if tobacco growing is to be maintained and it has my support."@en1
