"The reason I did not vote for the Agriculture Committee's proposal to reject the Commission's proposal on voluntary modulation is that doing so would further delay the start of the new rural development programmes and their funding. This would have a negative affect on farmers and rural communities in my constituency, who badly need these funds.
The lack of funding for rural development is a problem for Wales. This has been caused by a combination of the UK not getting a fair share of the EU funding, the UK Government's defence of its budget rebate and the UK Presidency's financial perspectives deal. As a result of this failure by government, Ministers will look to modulation to top up this fund.
Subsidiarity must be ensured so that the decision to apply voluntary modulation or not and at what level is taken at the appropriate level. In my constituency that would mean the National Assembly for Wales rather than at Member State level. There are wide differences in approach and distinctive rural communities across the UK and it would be totally unacceptable to have a single level. There must also be full and additional matching funding from central government funds."@en1
