".
We voted in favour of this report, given that we are broadly in favour of its thrust, although we are opposed to one or two of the points it makes.
That being said, the principle objective of the report is to address problems in the rural world. The report says that, owing to their disadvantaged status, special attention must be paid to rural areas, and highlights the large diversity of situations and specific characteristics in each Member State.
Special prominence needs to be given both to remote, mountainous and disadvantaged rural areas suffering from depopulation and decline, and to peri-urban areas under increasing pressure from urban centres. I also wish to highlight the inclusion of proposals aimed at supporting local initiatives, such as farmers’ markets and local food-quality procurement schemes, and the need for effective support for young farmers to improve transfer between generations.
Special treatment must be given to the outermost regions, where farms are small, isolated, often exposed to severe climate conditions and limited in their range of produce."@en1
