"This report lays down rules for the current system of direct payments to farmers for 2013, since certain financial measures are restricted to 2012. On the other hand, the next common agricultural policy, reform of which for 2014-2020 is currently being discussed, only comes into force in January 2014. That means there is a need for additional legislation providing for direct payments during this hiatus. This proposal sets net ceilings for direct payments by means of an adjustment mechanism similar to the obligatory modulation applied in 2012. Regardless of the technical basis of the proposal, we abstained because we disagree with the current system of direct payments. This system allocates support on the basis of historical values – with enormous inequalities between producers, products and countries – and without a production requirement. There is no change to the intensity of the modulation, now going by the name of adjustment: a 10% reduction has been set for amounts between EUR 5 000 and EUR 300 000, a 14% reduction for amounts in excess of EUR 300 000. We need a mechanism whose maximum value is well below that proposed. We need to support those who actually produce, linking direct payments to production and balancing out the current unfair distribution of aid."@en1
