lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to add my thanks to Mrs Schierhuber for the enthusiasm with which she has, as usual, presented her report. I too am in favour of maintaining a liveable countryside in Europe, and I can therefore endorse the Commission’s three objectives. However, I fail to appreciate why the Commission has to prescribe that a certain percentage must be used for one objective and another percentage for another objective, and so on for the whole of Europe. Certainly after the referendum in the Netherlands and perhaps that in France as well – to which, indeed, a few people have already referred – it is necessary to keep rules from Brussels to an absolute minimum. We are quite capable of deciding for ourselves and the Commission can establish afterwards whether the funds were spent wisely or not. With regard to the report in general, there are a few too many gifts for the different regions for my liking. There is no disadvantaged region in Europe that has not been mentioned. We could well end up with a lack of funds for the ordinary regions in Europe, which have countryside of their own. I do not think that the amendment that argues in favour of an increase in the total sum for rural policy has any realistic changes, but, fortunately, a has been added to say that that is conditional on the outcome of the vote on the report on the Financial Perspectives. I should also like to stand up for sound quality policy in Europe. Certainly if liberalisation is on the increase, and we prescribe entirely different conditions for the rest of the world, it is unfair to expect European farmers to compete freely. Someone who sells to us will need to do so under our conditions, but those conditions will need to be known and that is where European quality policy comes in."@en1
