"In view of the imbalances in the farm input supply chain in the Union, which is threatening the viability of many farms, the EU needs to monitor market developments closely, particularly in terms of input costs, and properly monitor variations in costs and identify the reasons behind them. I believe that this analysis and regulation of markets should be done in a prudent way and should seek not to introduce additional distortions into a supply chain in which marked asymmetries have already been identified. Having said that, I believe that this evaluation by the EU and the defence of competitiveness should not cease, as a lack of action in this area could jeopardise agriculture production in the EU and reduce the supply of European agricultural produce to consumers as a result. Doing nothing could exacerbate conditions for everyone in the medium term. Agriculture is not just an economic activity; it has an important social and environmental function that must be taken into account and deserves protection."@en1
