"Mr President, having heard the interventions of Mr Jové and Mr Fischler, I believe I should change the form of my intervention and go straight to what I believe is the crux of the matter. The Commission’s main argument is that which was agreed ten years ago. That is to say, ten years ago there were certain conditions, we established a programme and it has come to an end. I believe that it is precisely the change in conditions compared to ten years ago which weakens the Commission’s position, and it is therefore important for them to be sensitive to an agreement which originates from the action of certain MEPs from the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the European Parliament at the moment. In my opinion, there have been three changes. Firstly, the competition conditions have changed. They are not the same as ten years ago. Secondly, according to the assessment of the agricultural sector, and this one in particular, it should be pointed out that there is much greater sensitivity towards environmental responsibility than there was ten years ago. It is an economic sector, I agree, but it has much greater environmental responsibility than it did ten years ago. Thirdly, if this aid is removed today, the loss of the land recovered over these ten years would be irreversible. I therefore sincerely believe that there is no margin, either within the framework of rural development or in other areas, because we are not talking about vegetables, we are not talking about any other type of product, we are talking about a very specific product, with very specific circumstances, which were analysed ten years ago and which must be analysed today once again. For this reason, I believe that it makes absolute sense to carry out a study of a new framework of aid and, in any event, there should be an extension with immediate effect."@en1
