"Madam President, I will not dwell on the common agricultural policy in general, beyond the simple point that, as a UKIP MEP, naturally I believe these matters could be dealt with better by the Member States themselves. I will, however, mention three points specifically from the report.
Firstly, I commend the rapporteur for saying that simpler is best. The simpler a system is, the easier it is for farmers. Secondly, I agree with the rapporteur that there is a crisis in farming. I have seen this personally over the last couple of weeks, speaking to young people and seeing the attitudes towards farming and the number of people who are not getting involved in farming. It is a massive problem.
Thirdly, the report mentions children not eating enough fruit and vegetables. I would suggest that governments should be doing more in that respect. There is, though, a danger of too much of a top-down approach. We have seen that where schools start policing what is put in children’s lunchboxes, this can cause hostility and become counterproductive. So, in keeping with the theme of this debate, I would suggest that the approach we need is carrot, not stick."@en1
