". – The CAP accounts for almost half of the EU budget and it is only correct that every euro spent should be accounted for. I fully support the need for efficient databases.
However, let us remember what the aim of such data collection is. It should allow for a more efficient administration of the CAP and more efficient use of public funds. Simplification is the key: not complication.
We do not need to create even more paperwork and administrative hassle for already beleaguered farmers. If we want to encourage people to stay in farming – in particular young people – we must not turn farming into a career that is more to do with mountains of paperwork than producing food and taking care of the land.
We must take particular care to avoid duplication of effort. There are a lot of data available, supplied by farmers in meeting the requirements of various programmes and schemes, available to national and European authorities. Let the efforts be at an administrative level in terms of sharing information and statistics, making information systems compatible and so on. Those who, like myself, represent large agricultural constituencies will surely oppose seeing any further administrative burdens foisted on farmers."@en1
