"We Swedish members of the Group of the Party of European Socialists who have signed this explanation of vote chose to vote against the entire resolution on the mid-term review of the common agricultural policy.
We are in favour of a radical reform of agricultural policy and support the Commission’s proposals for reform. We believe, however, that the ways in which Parliament’s resolution is worded give off mixed and sometimes conflicting signals. The reason for adopting our position is that we do not want to make it more difficult for the developing countries to enter our market with their agricultural products. Paragraphs 6, 32 and 34 talk about ‘protection’ against unfair ‘external competition’ and ‘a special form of external protection’, which are things we cannot support.
Moreover, we do not wish under any circumstances to appropriate more money to the common agricultural policy. Paragraph 21 demands that full use be made of the maximum amount of 1.27% of GDP. In round figures, that would mean a further EUR 25 000 million appropriated to this budget."@en1
