Mr President, Mr Bødskov, ladies and gentlemen, the need to ensure agricultural activity in rural areas is a matter worthy of consensus from us all. We want to preserve biodiversity, we want to prevent forest fires, we want better water management and we want better soil protection. It is not, therefore, the idea of this type of support that we are debating here today; what we are debating here today is very practical in nature. We Members, who are currently invested with the responsibility of drafting reports on common agricultural policy reform, will have to make decisions; will have to legislate without a bare minimum of information on the real impact of applying new criteria to an area.
By now, the Council should already have informed us; the Member States should already have made available all information on the real impact of these new criteria on each of the Member States. I should therefore like to ask the Council the following question: is it in a position to provide this information and, if so, when? I should also like to remind you that the rapporteurs will submit their work for translation within a month and that it will be practically, nay actually, impossible to legislate responsibly if this information is not available.
As such, since responsibility for this area is in the hands of the Member States, I should very much like the Council to tell us very clearly and specifically when it will be in a position to provide us with this information that is essential for our work as lawmakers."@en1
