".
A genuine reform of the COM for pigmeat is urgently needed in order to address the extended crisis that has hit producers in the European Union. However, the Commission's proposal to create a voluntary regulatory fund financed solely by producers not only runs counter to the CAP principle of financial solidarity, it will also not solve any of the industry’s fundamental problems.
The Garot report is an attempt to improve on some aspects of the Commission’s proposal, by seeking to reach a compromise with the Council, specifically with regard to a financial contribution to the fund. The problem is that, even if the French Presidency has shown a degree of openness, we know that the Commission has rejected these proposals and there does not appear to be a majority within the Council in favour of approving them.
It is therefore still crucial that we continue to fight for the mandatory establishment of the fund, financed completely by the CAP, and that payments from the fund should be adjusted to cover more producers, paying particular attention to small- and medium-sized farmers.
With regard to the overriding issue of the Community’s contribution to the fund, I also wish to point out that the proposals in the Garot report are an improvement as compared with the Commission’s position, but we still disagree with the idea of linking this contribution to the principle of CAP cofinancing which was, in fact, rejected in Agenda 2000."@en1
