lpv:spoken text	"I thank the President-in-Office for his comprehensive reply. I am sure he is aware of the declining age profile of European farmers. In fact one of the great threats to the continuity of agriculture is the fact that our farmers are getting older and older. On the other hand, we have an early farm retirement scheme, which is an excellent scheme but which requires farmers who qualify to totally remove themselves from their involvement in agriculture. In the context of the proposed revision or review of the early farm retirement scheme, I put it to the President-in-Office that perhaps he should consider making it possible for retiring farmers not to have to opt out totally, but to remain in partial employment, because even from a psychological point of view that is extremely important. It makes no sense to require a farmer retiring under the farm retirement scheme to opt out totally of a career in which he has spent his whole life."@en1
