"My congratulations to Ms Zimmer, who has managed to achieve a harmonious balance between the proposals of the Committee on Development (DEVE) with almost all the suggestions put forward in the opinion of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI).
In particular, I am pleased that the issue that was particularly close to my heart – energy self-sufficiency – has been entirely carried over in paragraph 22. I think that it is important to point out that part of the aid for developing countries ought to contribute to the setting up of facilities for generating renewable energy and towards good water management. All of this should be done with a view to an aid system that is designed to transmit know-how, with the ultimate aim of freeing these countries from foreign influence.
Self-sufficiency, whether in energy or food production, must be integrated into the policies of those developing countries aiming to improve their food security, particularly through the implementation of food strategies designed to alleviate poverty and, ultimately, make the aid itself superfluous.
I will conclude with a clarification: as shadow rapporteur for the opinion of the AGRI committee. I voted against paragraph 63. I did so because in the opinion that we delivered to the DEVE committee, we had already emphasised the need to gradually phase out export subsidies (see paragraph 29) but we cannot accept that the DEVE committee should, in a later paragraph, impose the complete removal of incentives during the full revision of the common agricultural policy."@en1
