"Mr President, I thank the rapporteur for her presentation and her work. This is clearly a technical debate, but it is also a very emotional and emotive debate, because hunger and our concerns around clearance of forest are there. But can I just say, in terms of the technical side, that I was troubled last week when I heard one of the Commission experts say at a hearing that the models in ILUC are not certain. To put something mandatory into legislation which is based on uncertain modelling is something that I would be very fearful of supporting.
Like other speakers, I accept that we need to look at ILUC. But I wonder: in other productions, do we look at ILUC? For example, in CAP reform, we have just agreed that farmers will place 5% of their land into an ecological focus area and, indeed, rising to 7%. There is an ILUC factor there, too. I think we need to address this issue, but to realise that the fundamental question is this: land needs to produce food, fuel and fibre into the future and we need it to do more and better while polluting less. Rather than be anxious about one policy direction or another, we need a holistic use of our land, across the European Union."@en1
