"Mr President, everyone knows that agricultural production is vulnerable to climate conditions. The previous speaker told us so and there is no need for us to repeat ourselves. Everyone also knows that, under the old CAP, there was far more protectionism towards Greek farming than there is under the present common agricultural policy and I greatly fear that the next common agricultural policy will be even worse.
We consider that the insurance system, however it works, will have its pros and cons, but we consider that the participation of the European Union in financing is very, very small and I think that we should be more generous on this point. In addition, I would like to say that particular importance needs to be attached to fruits, which are sensitive products and which have greater need for protection.
Similarly, we have seen over recent days a large rise in fuel prices which, for numerous agricultural crops, will result in a ruinous increase in costs. Additional measures which we need to see to attentively and carefully are that, in times of crisis, storage and processing and promotion need to be stepped up, as do voluntary cutbacks in production. We consider it particularly important for the entire system to be subject to speedy intervention.
To close, I have to say that, in the particularly globalised environment to which we have brought our agriculture, if we do not support it, it will be ruined and we shall have no European agriculture."@en1
