lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in wishing the Greek Presidency well, I appeal to it to make every effort to address the grave problem of falling farm incomes. I make this appeal as someone who has spent his whole life in agriculture and rural development in one way or another. We have here in Europe a unique model of family farming which, with falling incomes, is now under serious threat. In the context of the mid-term review proposals due to be adopted this week and the forthcoming world trade talks, I appeal to the Greek Presidency to work towards continued commitment at EU level for the European agricultural model and to guarantee a decent livelihood for our farmers. The reluctance of young people to take up farming as a career is evidence of the problem within agriculture. Unless we address the very serious problem of the declining age profile in European agriculture, in the not too distant future Parliament will be sitting in an emergency session to address what has turned out to be a very serious problem."@en1
