lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I am going to discuss that area of Europe’s cultural heritage which is not included on UNESCO’s list and which is scarcely included on our own lists. It has to do with the fact that almost every second square metre of the European Union is cultivated, both the agricultural landscape and land given over to forestry. The whole of Europe’s current biological diversity is a result of nearly 10 000 years of struggle and hardship. It is the fruit of cooperation between nature, the climate, technology and the human being as cultivator. That is what has given us the incredibly diverse and many-sided Europe with which we are familiar. I naturally believe that cultural heritage is a responsibility for regions and nations and not, in the first place, for the European Union. There is, however, one area in which the Union has complete power over cultural heritage, namely agricultural policy. If I were in a position to decide, I should exchange the EU’s current agricultural policy for a policy which favoured cultural heritage and biological diversity. I should like to use subsidies to preserve the cultivated terraces around the Mediterranean and to preserve the biologically rich and fantastically beautiful meadows in the mountain areas surrounding rivers and lakes in thickly wooded Scandinavia. In short, a good cultural policy for Europe would be a transformed, modern and relevant agricultural policy."@en1
