".
We consider it right in principle that the level of participation in programmes supporting rural development by countries which acceded to the EU on 1 May 2004 should be balanced with that of the existing Member States.
Nonetheless, we are impressed by the assurance that this balancing act will be achieved at no financial cost to the Community budget, given that the participation of the ten new countries in the programmes will increase from 80% to 85%, and by the fact that it concerns objective 1 regions only, leaving the question of the other regions unclear.
The above deliberate 'ambiguities' are rooted in the fact that the misleading statements about 'supporting agriculture' hide an effort, via specific programmes, to structurally adapt Community agriculture to the demands of the CAP, the WTO and the multinationals and monopolies and to redistribute resources between the first and second pillar in order to conceal and mitigate the consequences and prevent social outcry, given that the aim of 'differentiating economic activities in the countryside' means in practice a drastic reduction in paramount agricultural activity and the search for 'analgesics' for farmers in the new and old Member States whose holdings are wiped out.
What is ultimately important is not the size of the appropriations and the number of programmes, but their orientation, which is acutely anti-farming and hostile to any real rural development."@en1
