"Madam President, I voted in favour of the Dess report, but I must say I was disappointed that Amendment 4 was not successful. It was supported by my group because it would have allowed specific aid under the first pillar to compensate for natural handicaps and also to ensure that agricultural activity was maintained in mountainous areas, in environmentally sensitive areas and in Natura 2000 regions.
I voted against Amendment 23 not because I support GMOs – I do not – but because I support subsidiarity and I believe that Member States should be able to make their own choices on GMOs.
I was particularly pleased that we supported Amendment 27, which sensibly rejected the introduction of burdensome and unclear requirements derived from the Water Framework Directive into the cost-compliant system until we have a much clearer picture with regard to its implementation in the various Member States.
I was also pleased to see Parliament support a multi-tiered safety net in the event of market disruption and, indeed, emergency situations. This is a reasonable and a proportionate response.
Finally, I was pleased that we overwhelmingly voted that the budget be maintained at least at the 2013 level. Without that, all the rest of it is just talk."@en1
