"Mr President, I should like simply to draw our fellow Members’ attention to the dreadful and tragic situation of the wine growers from southern Europe and, more specifically, from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, thousands – tens of thousands – of whom will take to the streets in the large cities of southern France this Wednesday in order to voice their distress.
A wine grower’s annual turnover is EUR 20 000. His fixed costs come to EUR 15 000, which leaves him with EUR 5 000 on which to live throughout the entire year. We know what is behind this tragic situation: unreasonable free trade agreements, like the ones concluded as recently as November 2005 with the United States, South Africa and so on, that is to say with countries in which the climate and the environmental, social and fiscal conditions are different to our own. This is therefore unfair competition.
Thank you, Mr President, for having taken note of the tragic situation of the wine growers, including those from Spain, Italy, Greece and France."@en1
