"I should like to thank all my fellow MEPs in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development who have helped find a consensus with a view to presenting, today in plenary, a resolution in response to the oral question to the Commission and in response to the debate that took place on 25 September in Strasbourg on the difficulties encountered by European beekeeping. This resolution is very balanced, as evidenced by its unanimous adoption by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. I hope that this unanimity will finally encourage the European Commission to follow up the requests we have made in our resolution. I hope it will cease to ignore the fact that, for years, beekeepers have had to face severe problems connected with losses of their bee populations, amounting in some cases to more than 80%, and with a sharp decline in honey production, leading to significant loss of income. More and more beekeepers, in all regions of the European Union, are giving up beekeeping. An interesting but difficult profession, young people are not prepared to make it their own. Moreover, beekeeping – which has always been practised by many people not only as a source of income but also as a hobby – no longer has the same attraction, particularly because of the difficulties resulting from new diseases."@en1
