lpv:translated text	". On the agenda, the Fiori report on the reform of the common agricultural policy and the Rodríguez Ramos report have been combined. Mr Fiori is right to mention the environment and food safety, but I have a feeling that, in practice, his main interests revolve around the WTO requirements, maintaining agricultural subsidies for southern Europe following the accession of poorer Eastern European countries, and blocking national regulations as far as possible. With this, he represents the bureaucracy of the past; economy of scale, pumping around tax money for no good reason and keeping the price of agricultural products artificially low. This seems to me to be a rearguard action that will automatically be fighting a losing battle when ten new Member States join the EU. The money will simply not be there any more. It would therefore be preferable, first of all, to consider the social implications, the purchasing power and the continuing security of the people who lose their old jobs. It is better to invest money in this than in increasing production. Moreover, we must avoid the need for people to move away from the countryside unnecessarily and prevent the landscape from deteriorating further. Mrs Rodríguez Ramos is right to want more money for rural development and small-scale initiatives. I support her request to the European Commission to furnish proposals in this respect."@en1
