"Mr President, Commissioner, Minister, we ask European agriculture to provide our citizens with plentiful food at affordable prices and meeting the highest quality standards in the world. We also ask our farmers to work to protect the environment, biodiversity, and water and soil quality, and to lock up carbon and combat climate change. Agriculture is irreplaceable in terms of achieving these goals. We additionally ask our farmers to operate in a context of international competition which is fierce and unfair.
We therefore consider that this latest agricultural budget proposal cannot be for real, and even represents a provocation. We have agreed to work based on the Commission proposal, which is 12 % lower than the current budget in real terms, despite the European Parliament having advocated a higher amount by an overwhelming majority.
I must therefore remind the Council that this Parliament has decision-making powers and is ready to use them, whatever the consequences, in order to defend the European project, which is now more essential than ever before."@en1
