"The European Union’s proposal for the WTO negotiations is not compatible with the objectives of the CAP. Admittedly the joint resolution reminds the negotiators of certain essential points on which they must not make any concessions, so as to protect individual countries’ freedom of choice, whether it is a matter of guaranteeing their independence regarding supply or of determining their own agricultural models.
We do not, however, support it, firstly because the opinion of the European Parliament is no longer relevant once the Council has taken its decision and secondly because the resolution does not question the basis of that decision. How could we maintain farming activities over all the territories involved and protect designations of origin, while at the same time reducing support and opening up more borders, when we have no positive sign that our partners are ready to accept the proposed compensations and limits. Bringing world prices closer together, below the level of production costs, will offer no prospects, either to the countries of the South or to those of the North.
It is already possible to see that the current proposal, even though it is presented to us with no assessment of its consequences, will compel the European Union to adopt the principle of the decoupling of aid."@en1
