lpv:translated text	"As they deal with the same subject, Question Nos 52 and 53 will be taken together. Question No 52 by Jonas Sjöstedt (): The EU spends nearly EUR five billion each year on subsidies of exports of its own agricultural produce. These subsidies seriously damage the prospects of other countries, particularly developing ones, of maintaining a viable position on the market in agricultural produce. The Court of Auditors has also highlighted the fact that the expenditure is not checked in a satisfactory manner. The EU's subsidies have come in for strong criticism in the WTO and part of the conclusions of the WTO meeting in Qatar was an objective to review subsidies. What plans does the EU have for scaling down or phasing out these subsidies in the years to come? Question No 53 by Paulo Casaca (): The Commission undertook in Doha to launch negotiations for the 'reduction of all forms of export subsidies, "with a view to phasing out"'. This agreement, like any of the others and as is usual with such texts, is conditional on the final outcome of the talks. This bold undertaking by the Commission is also justified internally, given the considerable inefficiencies and abuses which this system has given rise to, not to mention its dubious impact on fulfilment of the objectives of Article 33 of the Treaty, especially regarding action to ensure a fair income for farmers. Can the Commission explain, in terms of timetables and procedures, how it intends to act on this objective, on the basis of full compliance with Article 33, paragraph 1(b) of the Treaty?"@en1
