lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we believe that the finances of 2013 are being developed as the base year for the new multiannual financial frameworks. Direct payments are an important financial mechanism for ensuring equal opportunities to all, solidarity and development. My group and my electors in Latvia believe that proper determination of direct payments is not only necessary for a common, honest and fair market, but also very important in the social sphere. I support what I find to be very proper steps laid out with regard to this in the report of Mr Capoulas Santos, as well as the Commission’s stance on this matter, but we must go farther. We believe that direct payments should be no smaller than 80% of the European Union average. Then we will be able to talk about fairness. Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian farmers receive direct payments. The amounts they are receiving today are discriminatory. Such injustice must be rectified. This situation has already led to, for example, Latvian farmers leaving the country and land being cheaply purchased by the rich people of other countries. As a result, more and more villages are losing this status, as there are no more people living in them, and agricultural land is becoming overgrown. I give my thanks to those working to prevent such things from happening."@en1
