"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to extend the warmest of thanks to the rapporteur and the shadow rapporteurs. Thanks to them, all the institutions now take the European Parliament and its Members more seriously. I am convinced that we shall be able to find a solution together. Indeed, the Commissioner has already dropped a good many hints. The Council, too, must budge at long last, however, and I think that that will indeed be possible as part of constructive talks.
As with the first vote, the principle applies that there should be no dilution of the common agricultural policy – which remains the only EU policy that has really been brought within the Community sphere – and no renationalisation of this policy.
Europe’s existence is based on solidarity and respect, including respect for all individuals. In the last 15 years, European agriculture has undergone far-reaching reforms unparalleled in any other European policy. As the Commissioner has already mentioned, we are looking into the ‘health check’, the discussion on which starts next year, so that we shall be prepared for the years following 2013. It is particularly important that we in this House continue to take a consistent line across all committee and group divides, as this is the only way of ensuring that Parliament and its representatives do not continue to be ignored.
That is why I ask all my fellow Members to follow the recommendation of our rapporteur and the shadow rapporteurs tomorrow, as you did at the first vote."@en1
