"When the EU was enlarged in 2004 with the admission of ten new Member States, discriminatory conditions were agreed in relation to implementation of the common agricultural policy (CAP). A transition period of nine years was applied to new Member States. The first year's aid amounted to only 25% of that received by the old Member States. This has had repercussions in the competitive environment between the new and old EU countries in the agricultural produce market. The strongest message of the report was that the new countries have not had a negative effect on the agricultural produce of the old countries in the market. What of the effect on the new countries? Only Poland was mentioned – and the Commission is reluctant to come to grips with its problems. Lithuania has lost its traditional flax market because of the CAP. Lithuania was obliged to reduce assistance to flax growers one-and-a-half times. Flax crop decreased twice. The old Member States were given advantageous conditions for access to the produce markets of the new Member States. I think the report does not sufficiently reflect the actual situation, and therefore, I have voted against implementation of the CAP in the new Member States."@en1
