"Mr President, a 20% reduction in greenhouse emissions, a 20% share for renewable energy, with 10% of fuels coming from renewable sources. These are the challenging objectives set by the European Union to combat climate change and to achieve independence in energy supplies.
However, the question of how we can meet these objectives remains open. This is particularly true if the sectors which can make a contribution in this respect are allowed to waste away. Agriculture can, and will, make a significant contribution to the 2020 goals. However, in specific areas of agriculture, policy is increasingly moving away from market management. As a result of the health check, changes will take place in the starch potato sector which will cause a massive fall in production. The phasing out of the quota system and the minimum price have put the sector under huge pressure. We must make sure that a soft landing is possible.
We must call on the Commission to identify measures to make starch potato production secure, in particular, in regions where there are no alternatives. The products of the potato starch industry will be of major importance in the future."@en1
