"The June List believes that the European Union’s common agricultural policy should be phased out. We also oppose the new subsidies under the designation, ‘rural development’. We wonder why the EU believes that the Member States cannot manage to develop their rural areas themselves.
We are faced with two alternatives in this vote: the Commission’s proposal and the proposal by the European Parliament’s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. In this situation, we have chosen to vote in favour of the Commission’s proposal, since it is better than the proposal by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, which is quite absurd.
The report’s explanatory statement contains a whole range of views. For example, it criticises possible abandonment or renationalisation of the common agricultural policy – a development that the June List would find desirable – and complains that it is contrary to the European Parliament’s right of participation, a view that the June List does not share.
In addition, the explanatory statement maintains that the health check on the long-term budget should only form the basis of proposals for the financing period
2013. The June List completely rejects that view. We believe that the mid-term review should lead to cuts in the agriculture/rural development budget as early as in the current budget period of 2007-2013.
The June List observes that, in this situation, it is fortunate that the European Parliament does not have powers of codecision regarding the EU’s agricultural policy. Otherwise, the EU would fall into the trap of protectionism and of heavy subsidies to all the various groups within the agricultural industry."@en1
