lpv:translated text	"Mr President, by agreeing, although with a number of reservations, to back the decoupling line proposed by the European Commission, the Cunha report is asking us to take a step in the wrong direction. Why? It is a step in the wrong direction because decoupling, by introducing a radical divide between farmers’ wages and production, would transform direct payments into income linked to the land, of a set amount, comprising a sort of negative tax that is hard to justify in the eyes of the public and taxpayers, increasing the price of land in an inappropriate and uneconomical manner, and thus making it more difficult for young people to become farmers and establish themselves. Decoupling would also have negative consequences for the regional localisation of crops and would therefore encourage relocation rather than land-use planning. The declared aim of decoupling is to promote our negotiating position in the WTO, but it is hard to see how the announcement of a reform before the negotiations could give us any more weight. Finally, by doing away with all links between production and State aid, we are forgoing any market guidance and control measures, which are the basis for all of our COMs. We must therefore abandon this crazy, pointless idea of decoupling. Total decoupling would be a total mistake and partial decoupling would be a partial mistake. Partial decoupling would be an incomprehensible compromise, a bureaucratic monster and an unsustainable system. It would make the CAP, which must be simplified as soon as possible, even more complex. It would create a new cursor, that of the decoupling rate, and many hands would ensure that this moved towards total decoupling, to the detriment of our agriculture, our independence and our food security."@en1
