". – I would like to put on record my reasons for voting against certain sections of Mr Färm’s report today, in particular those paragraphs dealing with agriculture.
We are all aware that the Commission’s proposals for the mid-term review of the CAP are due out next week. I will oppose strongly any attempts to turn that review into a reform. The agreement reached in Berlin in 1999 on Agenda 2000 still stands and will be reviewed before the end of 2006 so as to examine the next financial perspective. Fundamental reform of the CAP at this stage is neither necessary nor desirable. The markets are reasonably stable and the Berlin ceilings are not threatened.
As regards the rural development pillar, the Commission is expected to propose compulsory modulation from direct payments and this has also been put forward by Mr Färm. I reject this notion and support the concept of voluntary modulation which was agreed by the 15 Member States in Berlin. I fully support the aims of rural development but I firmly believe that direct payments are a key element in keeping alive small family holdings and maintaining rural communities right across Ireland."@en1
