"Mr President, President-in-Office of the Council, I also would have liked to have thanked the Commissioner too, but his duties have prevented him from being in the House for this important debate. I would like first to thank Mr Daul for the conciliatory work he has undertaken in the difficult task of moving this resolution forward. The resolution is the result of a great effort especially on his part and also on the part of all the political groups. Parliament should not introduce any changes as this could threaten the consensus. The Brussels Summit clarified many of the unknown quantities, especially as regards the ceiling on spending. However, doubts remain on the content of the CAP review. These will not be resolved until the Commission presents its legislative proposals to us. Therefore, I think it is truly important that we, as members of all the political groups represented in this document, send out a strong message tomorrow. It must be a strong, clear and direct message in support of farmers. We need to say to the farmers that although the common agricultural policy must be revised, we will ensure this is done in the best possible way, within the scope of the funds allocated up to 2013. As regards the two central strands I have identified in the review, the one that really worries me is the decoupling of aid, as some Members have already mentioned. If this is carried out as proposed, I think the CAP would be holed below its waterline. We need to think long and hard about this. I think that the partial decoupling as proposed by the consensus reached through Mr Daul is a step in the right direction, but we could still examine these issues further and in greater depth. Without going into detail, I should make the general point that we must give women and young people living in rural areas a future or there will nobody to take over from the present generation."@en1
