"Mr President, the most important words that came from the Commissioner are that market prices are beginning to rise. We should acknowledge that in this House and push to ensure that they are passed on to farmers. We are saying there is EUR 280 million available to them, but every additional cent they receive is worth much more than the doling out of payments to them. That is most important.
I think it is important that some have criticised the Commission hugely. Let us acknowledge that intervention and export refunds have been used to maintain prices, even with that horribly low price for producers, so I think some of the criticism is unnecessary and harsh. I support the extension of Article 186 if you needed to pay out this EUR 280 million, which I regard as symbolic rather than significant.
Let us look at the lessons. We need to look at what is going to happen to CAP reform post-2013; the high-level group is focusing on it. I would say to those political groups who tonight support funding for dairying: make sure that you also support a properly funded common agricultural policy after 2013; otherwise your words are empty."@en1
