lpv:translated text	". Lithuanian farmers work hard and make a significant contribution to our society. However, there is a limit to what they are able to achieve if local infrastructure and funding are insufficient. If the future CAP is to receive the approval of EU taxpayers, it must guarantee food security and jobs. The budget earmarked for EU agriculture should therefore remain unaltered. Lithuania cannot allow itself to neglect the agricultural sector. Last year exports of agricultural products from my country were worth EUR 2.6 billion, and farmers in Lithuania account for 7.1% of the entire workforce, whereas the EU average is 4.8%. The CAP must help us build competitive, sustainable farms and a vibrant rural economy. According to EU statistical data published last month, Lithuania is still trying to catch up – in Lithuania, 51.5% of CAP payments are going towards rural development, whereas in the EU27 the corresponding figure is 23.3%. We must continue to support our farmers’ efforts to modernise their farms. I support the rapporteur’s call to distribute assistance fairly among the Member States and the different categories of farmers. At present, new Member States, like Lithuania, receive less financial assistance than the old Member States."@en1
