"In voting against the report, the Greek Communist Party voted against the CAP as a whole, both current and ‘new’, which has ruined small and medium-sized holdings and promotes agricultural development on the basis of the criterion of the profitability of the monopoly food companies. The report includes the ‘new’ CAP in the anti-grassroots Europe 2020 strategy, in the aim of ruining small and medium-sized holdings and concentrating land, production, subsidies and trade solely in the hands of the capitalist agricultural companies. That is why it calls for direct support to be given to active farmers, thereby excluding poor farmers forced to work outside agriculture. At the same time, the principles set out for a competitive/viable/fair CAP, in conjunction with the decoupling of production from direct payments, will benefit large land owners. The previous review of the CAP did the groundwork, resulting in a drastic reduction over the last two years in the real per capita income of farmers and a reduction in employment in the agricultural sector. The report treats food as a commodity, as agricultural production for profit, which is what causes the daily criminal food scandals of the food monopolies. It does not formulate any restriction on the GMOs which harbour huge risks for public health and the ecosystem. The only way out is if the workers and poor grassroots classes can enjoy the wealth they produce."@en1
