"Mr President, in addition to congratulating the rapporteur, Mr Adam, on his magnificent report, I would like to tell the Commission that some of the terminology in their proposal needs to be amended in order to take account of gender differences. That is to say, that it constantly forgets that there are female producers and stockbreeders. I would ask the Commissioner to make these terminological amendments to this proposal and, Commissioner, you can also do this for all of your other proposals, and please inform your staff that this must be done. Behind this seemingly formal request is my firm determination that, from now on, we recognise female farmers for the important role they play.
Secondly, Commissioner, your proposal contains a renationalisation, which is the cause of a great deal of suspicion, because, to a certain extent, it sets a precedent in this field. To avoid these suspicions escalating into protests, you should compensate for this shortcoming in your proposal by increasing premiums. We ask for this unanimously; I hope that Parliament’s proposals will not fall on deaf ears.
Lastly, I have to say that we all recognise that this ‘safety net’ initiative to compensate the fall in income suffered by farmers and producers of both sexes in times of crisis is a great success."@en1
