"Mr President, last summer, Commissioner Fischler's proposal for the decoupling of direct payments from production set the WTO negotiations off on the right foot. But decoupling direct payments can also have its disadvantages. If high land prices mean that young farmers are then unable to take over businesses, we have overshot the mark. Meanwhile, Commissioner Fischler has been overtaken to the right by Mr Schröder’s and Mr Chirac’s pre-arranged decisions at the Brussels Summit. What remains of the Commissioner’s plans to give rural policy more elbow room via a shift in funds? If the CAP budget is frozen, this means an irrevocable drop in direct payments. Yesterday, in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Fischler noted that we cannot subject the farmers to a drop of more than 3% per annum in income allowances. In this respect, the farmers have more to expect from the realism of this Commissioner than of many a minister who says that policy reforms are unnecessary but for all that freezes the budget within an enlarging Union."@en1
