"We have chosen to vote against the report. We support a number of lines of thought, for example to the effect that the common agricultural policy must do more to promote multifunctionality in agriculture, that environmental requirements must be integrated into all forms of support, that support must promote smaller family farms, that the renationalisation of agricultural policy must be rejected, that support will have to be decoupled from production and that more extensive farming should be promoted.
We object to quite a few other aspects, however. A perspective from the developing world is conspicuous by its absence. The opening-up of the world market is presented as something thoroughly negative, and the important decision on ‘Everything But Arms’ is called into question. It is also maintained that future reforms should, in the first place, be aimed at stopping the loss of jobs in agriculture, which is not our own view. We do not accept that budget discipline should be applied less strictly, as proposed by the report. We think it doubtful whether new forms of support for, for example, bananas, rice, vegetable protein and nuts are really necessary, any more than the new support proposed for producer organisations.
A reformed agricultural policy must retain the European agricultural model and provide farmers with reasonable remuneration for the multifunctional nature of agricultural work. What, however, is equally clear is that there is a very great need for reform. There must be no more harmful consequences for the developing world, there must be a progressive increase in saleability, and support must be made compatible with sustainable development."@en1
