I agree with the rapporteur’s position as regards the objective of simplifying the financing structure in order to make funding more efficient and transparent. I share her doubts as to whether financial management will in fact be simplified in future. Two financial management systems with differences in terms of mode of payment and commitment of funds will have to be set up, and the Member States will also have to provide additional documentation. Administrative operations will consequently need to be adapted, and this may be counterproductive for farmers and for all those involved in the process of rural development.
The crux of the issue with regard to common agricultural policy funding comes under the heading of ‘modulation/degressivity’, in terms of the criteria and the amounts to be transferred to the two funds – the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. The ongoing debate in Parliament and the Council on the Financial Perspective for 2007-2013 does not envisage any change in these aspects; quite the opposite in fact. The amounts so far put forward are indicative of pressure from the bigger countries as regards their financial contribution, and effectively put paid to a cohesion policy and a common agricultural policy that protects food sovereignty, small and medium-sized farmers and the rural world. Portugal and small and medium-sized farmers stand to lose out most from this policy."@en1
