"I am glad to answer that question. I know what is behind it of course and the Commission is aware of the important economic and social efforts required in Member States with highly intensive production to adapt the structures and practices in agriculture to the requirements of the directive. Those difficulties were already anticipated in 1991 when the directive was signed under the Dutch Presidency. That is why Member States were given five years to prepare for adaptation and four more to achieve it and ensure the necessary reconversions were undertaken in a progressive fashion.
In spite of this, we have some problems, but a new delay would not change the social consequences of the necessary measures. So it is very important that the countries implement this directive. There is a variety of funding at national and EU level – such as agri-environment and Structural Funds – and this may be used to help with reconversion and in the management of its social impact for a transitory period."@en1
