lpv:translated text	"I should like to begin by congratulating Mrs Batzeli on her outstanding work in difficult circumstances and to thank Mrs Fischer Boel once again for being here in the Chamber. All of the political debates, the hearings, the meetings with representatives from the sector, the visits we have made to the winemaking areas of various Member States and the hundreds of amendments are ample evidence of the interest that the Members have in analysing this important issue for European agriculture. There is consensus on the need for reform and it is right to point out that no alternatives to the Commission’s original model have been put forward. There are, however, major differences between Parliament and the Commission as regards the timetable, the intensity and the manner of the implementation of the main measures. It is certainly necessary to grub up poor-quality vines, but this must happen with illegal vines first. Furthermore, it is vital that the final decision on grubbing up should rest with the Member States. It is certainly necessary to put an end to subsidised distillation, but it is essential to safeguard support for potable alcohol distillation; fortified wines, which are so important to European exports, need such support. It makes no sense to promote the authenticity and tradition of European wines whilst at the same time advocating the free entry of concentrated must from third countries. This report is indicative of Parliament’s good faith and commitment. I trust that the Commission will welcome our proposals so that we can implement satisfactory reforms in the sector."@en1
