lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, not a single sane person in this Chamber would disagree with me when I say that the common agricultural policy needs reforming. The EU needs to reduce intervention to a genuine safety net, move towards a market-orientated approach and the end of a situation whereby farmers chase subsidies and not markets – the old-style CAP market production box marked ‘Failed projects’ it should be confined to. What reform are we really going to see here? We have been talking about this for two years, and a quarter of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development opposed the report. What message does that send to the farming sector? Both environmentalists and farmers alike are highly critical of the green aspects of these proposals. How then can the public believe that their environmental concerns have been addressed? I believe that the people who are best qualified to look after the British landscape are the British farmers, not unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. The CAP is expensive and over-bureaucratised, and farmers in my constituency constantly contact me about this. It adds to the weekly food bill of every family in Great Britain. Professor Patrick Minford of Cardiff Business School, a leading critic of the CAP, is on record as stating that the average family would be much better off if we left the European Union, not only in terms of cheaper food."@en1
