lpv:translated text	"I congratulate Mrs Jeggle on her report. Technically, there should not be any criticism of the motion under consideration for it faithfully follows the rationale behind Agenda 2000 which is an income support philosophy, even though, in our opinion, in the taking of planning and production decisions in the face of the current globalisation of markets there has as yet been no detailed analysis of the actual requirements of the farms. We cannot stress this point enough: in our opinion, farming behaves like an economic system and, at present, the European Union’s focus is shifting towards mere public funding without defining guidelines and foundations which allow farmers to see what their future will be. Farmers are not having an easy time at the moment. The impression they get is that we intend to make the farming sector increasingly less productive in economic terms. Proof of this is provided by the recent events –– incidents which have occurred during the last few months linked to WTO negotiations – from the Kosovo intervention financing aid in this region – an irreprehensible priority, but implemented with debatable timeframes and procedures – to the cases which have already been mentioned by my fellow Members of cuts in the cereals sector or the delay in deciding upon the proposal for the sugar sector. If we want to protect the European agricultural model, which is synonymous with agribusiness, we must also make sure that this activity is not eliminated, and this may well result in an increase in employment levels as well. We farmers have grown up with the European Union and we want to continue to grow with it."@en1
