". This will wipe out vital agricultural sectors in both the CEECs and the ΕU.
The aim is to secure markets for big business and develop neo-capitalist farming models which marginalise the agricultural sector and alter its social and environmental role (paragraph 24 of the report speaks for itself here).
The ΕU will throw a few crumbs at the CEECs, while at the same time turning them into markets for its own products – and not the other way round, as their propaganda would have us believe – with the result that the agricultural economy will shrink, small and medium-sized farms will be wiped out and employment and the social and economic fabric will be irreparably damaged.
The Communist Party of Greece is against the accession of any country to the ΕU because accession has nothing to offer small and medium-sized farmers or the working classes. However, as and when these countries join the European Union, they must have the same rights and receive the same subsidies from the first year of their accession and quotas must be determined on the basis of the real capacities and food requirements of their people."@en1
