lpv:translated text	". Production aid in the olive oil, tobacco and cotton sector must be maintained if we are to prevent many producers from abandoning the sector, and if the specific characteristics of Mediterranean products are not to fall by the wayside. The Commission’s proposal for decoupling production aid, which has now also been approved by Parliament, is unacceptable and does not augur well for the discussions at the Council of Agriculture Ministers. This proposal will have a devastating socio-economic impact and will lead to desertification, particularly in the poorest regions of EU Member States, such as in Portugal. This proposal particularly affects Portugal. In the case of cotton, the threshold for aid is set at a preposterous 360 hectares, in spite of the potential benefits of the Alqueva project and of the conversion of barren areas into irrigated land. In the case of olive oil, the financial package and methodology that have been established undermine both the modernisation of Portuguese olive groves and the new plantation rights set at 30 000 hectares, which were agreed in 1998; this despite the intended savings of EUR 113 million. The proposal would entail increasing the financial envelope for Portugal by some EUR 20 million. Yet the most worrying consequence of this proposal would be the number of producers leaving the sector in Portugal, which would happen, according to various studies. Hence our vote against."@en1
