".
The British Conservatives voted against the Commission proposal as amended, but in favour of the legislative resolution. We did this, not because we support the contents of Parliament's report, but because it is imperative that Parliament gives an opinion so that Council may proceed to a decision. Europe's farmers must be given a clear direction for the future.
We support Commissioners Fischler's proposals to reform the CAP and believe it is long overdue. We are completely behind the plans to decouple payments away from production, and welcome the freeing up of agriculture.
We also believe that the Fischler proposals will ensure the future of European agriculture in an enlarged Europe of 25 Member States. The proposals as they are in Parliament's text would only confuse and complicate an already over-bureaucratic system, and force agriculture into even further decline. The Commission reforms will put us in a strong position when we sit around the table at the WTO talks in Cancun. We hope that Commissioner Fischler sticks to his guns, and pushes ahead with his plans in Luxembourg next week. We, and European farmers, wish him every success!"@en1
