"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I have only two minutes to speak so I will get right to the point, and you will no doubt understand, Mr Fischler, that two minutes to tell you everything I think about your proposal, which is, in fact, a complete overhaul of the CAP, is a very short time indeed. What can we say about the decoupling you are imposing on us? Even the United States has abandoned the idea. That should give us some food for thought. Whether it is total or partial, fixed or degressive, it will result firstly in a divide between farmers and citizens, secondly, in additional administrative burdens, not to mention the audits you have added, and, thirdly, in speculation in land. What is happening as regards the transfer of rights? I have now asked you that question three times and you have still not responded. Perhaps I will be in luck today. What can we say about the absence of any future prospects not only for our young people but also for our current farmers? What can we say about your silence regarding Community preference and border protection? What can we say about the lack of information on the impact of your proposals? The studies were launched very late in the day. What can we say about the sprinkling of information you have granted us regarding intermediary areas and less-favoured areas? What can we say about ecoconditionality and these 38 directives, some of which are the responsibility of the states? What can we say about the 1 200 amendments that have been tabled? They are proof that your proposal has not satisfied anyone in spite of the good will of the rapporteurs, which I commend today. Commissioner, your proposal fills farmers with despair. You have been utterly deaf to their requests. They do not need a social worker; they are men and women who simply want to make a decent living from their work and their production."@en1
