"Madam President, we need, in this debate at least, a strong Commissioner with clear principles and the political courage necessary to prevent other members of the College of Commissioners from distorting the of this fund and still more to prevent the fund from being used as a bargaining chip to square the circle of other Community policies. Is it necessary to compensate our farmers for the trade agreements that we maintain with other States? Yes. However, this fund cannot become yet another instrument of the CAP and much less still can it become an instrument that, when its budget is increased, leaves the sectors for which it was created without funds and leaves them to carry on suffering, even today, not only the effects of globalisation but also the effects of the economic crisis. What is more, Commissioner, EUR 500 million to help companies in difficulty could turn out to be insufficient but allocating the same money to help those same companies and hundreds of thousands of farmers as well is simply ridiculous and is to mislead everyone, companies and farmers alike. Commissioner, this is an instrument for solidarity at a time when we need solidarity more than ever. Fight for a different fund to provide compensation for our trade agreements. Fight, at least, to increase this fund if it is necessary to compensate new sectors, but fight. You still have time or, if not, Mr Andor still has time, to be the Commissioner that we all, this Parliament as a whole and all the European institutions, need."@en1
