".
Europe is now, once again, demonstrating its mastery of the art of the paradox. Whilst on the one hand it destroys our agriculture by dismantling the CAP and the system of direct aid to farmers, it suggests in this report, that priority should be given to family farming and to support for small and medium-sized holdings, to stepping up actions to promote rural development and even to protecting women on farms and in the EU’s rural areas.
Unfortunately it appears that, at a time when the death of our farming is pre-ordained – this is why all farming unions condemn the CAP reform that will come into force in 2005 – the wishes of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities will remain pious hopes. This report rightly condemns the ageing of the female farming population, the low number of women who have the status of spouse-partner or assistant, which puts them in an extremely difficult situation with regard to their pay, their social security, their care under the medical system, their retirement and their professional development. The report also notes the high unemployment rate in farming regions."@en1
