lpv:translated text	". The proposed directive also privatises the certification of seed for sowing, which has been turned into a speculative commodity. In other words, certification has been awarded to private individuals by the state, which will check them randomly and, more importantly, in a very small ratio. The report finds that this new procedure will not significantly downgrade seed standards. In other words, they are expected to fall, but not significantly. The question which arises is, why propose replacing a system when the new system not only does nothing to improve the existing system but is worse and more costly? The objective is to extend the profitability of private capital which, in addition to production and sales, will also have certification, and to reduce the corresponding public spending by the Member States, which will be passed on to farmers many times over. The sanctions provided for in the directive for private individuals are irrelevant to farmers, because they neither protect them from losses nor compensate them. In my country, horticultural seed, which is supposed to be guaranteed by the manufacturer, has deteriorated to the point that the farmers using it have gone bankrupt, have not received compensation and have become embroiled in fruitless and costly court proceedings. For these reasons, we shall be voting against the report and the proposal for a Council directive."@en1
