) As usual, this ‘opinion-soliciting’ report by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development contains proposals that will entail increased costs for the EU budget.
We do not support the main ideas of the report, which, among other things, regrets the ongoing dismantling of Community intervention measures in the agricultural market. Neither are we in favour of the committee’s proposal for ‘market management measures’.
The European Parliament’s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development also needs reminding that the price situation is different in different Member States. The committee’s proposal to create a Europe-wide database for citizens containing reference prices for products and inputs and information on the costs of energy, pay, rents, duties and taxes from all across Europe is, in our opinion, detached from reality. The prerequisites for comparisons between the Member States simply do not exist for numerous different reasons.
We also find the proposal for a special label for European agricultural products strange. What is the motive behind this? An attempt to encourage protectionism?
As usual, the June List observes that, in this situation, it is fortunate that the European Parliament does not have powers of codecision in respect of the EU’s agricultural policy. Otherwise, the EU would fall into the trap of protectionism and of heavy subsidies to various groups within agriculture.
We have voted against this report on food prices in Europe."@en1
