"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in its capacity as co-legislator it is essential for Parliament to know the Member States’ simulation data for the new biophysical criteria put forward by the Commission on identifying Less Favoured Areas.
The lack of transparency and unwillingness to send this data to the representatives of EU citizens reveal the ongoing ignorance of Member States and the Council of the democratic revolution enshrined by the Treaty of Lisbon. Parliament is co-decider on agricultural matters and, together with the Council, we are preparing to reform the common agricultural policy. We cannot therefore accept any discrepancy in the information held by the two institutions.
We must be on the same standing as the Council in order to be able to evaluate the criteria put forward by the Commission in full awareness of the facts. The Commission – I would remind the Council – will not let us have this data, as some Member States have opposed it being given to Parliament.
We therefore urge the Council to appeal to the Member States for the utmost transparency and full cooperation, in the light of what is a new institutional reality."@en1
