lpv:translated text	"Thank you for remaining in the House, President-in-Office of the Council. I would first like to highlight the importance of this draft resolution, approved by the Committee on Agriculture. It is the result of the efforts made by all the political groups to reach a consensus on the common agricultural policy, in which so many different interests are involved. It is only right therefore that we congratulate the members of the Committee on Agriculture, those who coordinated the work, and especially Mr Daul, the Chairman and author of this proposal. I trust the Council and the Commission will also take these conclusions into account. Many queries could be raised regarding the proposal for a progress report. However, given the time constraints, I will concentrate on the question that concerns me most as citizen of a southern European country, namely the so-called decoupling of aid. In my country production is low and farmers have to contend with very difficult conditions. Firstly, the proposal does not envisage a genuine decoupling of aid, as it links aid to that received over the past few years, thus linking aid to past production. The only change is that farmers are not required to produce. Secondly, because farmers are not required to produce, there is the risk that they will give up farming in difficult areas where yields are low, leading to a real decline in rural areas where we are seeking to encourage development. We must not forget that the driving force behind rural development is production. Aid is welcome, but it is simply aid. Paragraph 7 has been included in the resolution to address this issue. It states that partially decoupled aid is essential. Finally, I would like to explain that farmers have been working on the assumption that the goal posts would remain in place until 2006. This reform, termed the progress report, would have the effect of moving the goal posts before 2006. I think this will create great insecurity within a sector that is already beset by a number of other threats."@en1
