lpv:translated text	"As I said yesterday, Mrs Auroi’s report points in the right direction although, of course, the context is such that the proposals cannot measure up to our vegetable protein needs. Reading the Commission’s report on vegetable proteins in the context of the ban on meat and bone meal, I was deeply shocked by the authors’ apparent contempt for their fellow citizens. First, contempt for consumers: the Commission’s position takes no account of the clear, strong and growing demand on the part of consumers for traceability and visibility in product origin. Here the proposal is simply to go on buying the proteins we lack as cheaply as possible in the great world supermarket for agricultural surpluses. So what if they contain GMOs? Then, contempt for farmers: the Commission’s resignation is an insult to European farmers, suggesting they are incapable of producing the vegetable proteins we need on our own soil. The measures proposed in the Commission’s seven- point plan (authorising the production of fodder legumes on land set aside on organic farms) is sympathetic but in no way commensurate with the challenge. Between organic production and massive imports of genetically modified soya, there is a margin for the creativity of European farmers. In fact one could say the Commission is trying to find technical, regulatory and budgetary arguments for refusing to act. It is presenting us with a ‘non-plan’ for proteins. The Commission is demonstrating an accountant’s logic which is not even economically relevant: the fact that soya is cheap at the moment does not mean it will always be cheap. A price rise is bound to come."@en1
