lpv:translated text	"I should like to draw attention to an aspect of our agricultural policy that is often neglected: the interests of developing countries. We must move away from protectionism and the market-distorting measures that are built into the current system. The very poorest countries have the right to fair access to our market and the stopping of unfair competition on their markets. I have tabled amendments calling attention to this, and I should like to ask my fellow Members to support them. The Commissioner will agree with me that, in addition, our policy should focus first and foremost on the consumer. Therefore, it is vital that we support farmers in the production of sufficient safe food of the very highest quality. Hence we must ensure sustainable agriculture, in which the maximum investment is made in protecting and improving rural areas and the environment, so that not only we, but also our children, can take pleasure in them. We must ensure sufficient food for all, and one way of doing so is to increasingly develop our knowledge and to share our knowledge and modern technologies with the rest of the world."@en1
