"Mr President, today’s report on the financing of the common agricultural policy, and especially the matter of its transparency, are of huge importance for social acceptance of residents of the Community, and primarily for European farmers. By publication of the beneficiaries of public aid, we will be able to see in detail in what context the division of funds is taking place; and particularly in the countries of what are known as the old and the new EU.
One very important proposal made by the rapporteur is the mention of a requirement concerning comparability of data between Member States. This will enable false accusations between EU members concerning the size and methods of support for individual markets in given countries to be avoided, and will enable action to be taken with the aim of levelling out farmers’ opportunities in the sphere of public support. As a general point it should be stressed that suitably clear financing of agricultural policy, along with a suitable quantity of such products, guarantees food security for European consumers. This is why European farmers should have long-term security and financial prospects with reference to investment in farms.
The voices that are currently being heard calling for a speedier review of the common agricultural policy are irresponsible and bring with them a threat to the EU’s food security. Nor should we forget the guarantees that have been given that subsidies for farms will be levelled out for all EU members by 2013.
To end, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur."@en1
