"There is no doubt that the EU’s agricultural aid must be reformed with a view to creating a healthy world market. Unfortunately, the proposal for reform does not address the issue of export subsidies which, in our opinion, are what it is most important to change and which have the most thoroughly distorting effect upon world markets and upon poor countries’ ability to exploit their comparative advantages. The Commission’s proposal does, however, acknowledge the multifunctionality of agriculture and would make increased modulation possible, that is to say increased flexibility when it comes to supporting tasks other than actual food production, such as the conservation of biodiversity and the cultivated landscape, or to taking other types of environmental measure. It would also make it easier for other reforms to be implemented further down the line. At the same time, decoupling presents obvious risks of disengagement and resistance to change which would, for example, obstruct the badly needed transition from one generation to the next within the agricultural community. From these two perspectives, the European Parliament’s proposal is therefore a compromise, providing scope for further necessary changes in the future. Overall, we have therefore chosen, despite many objections, to support the report in the final vote."@en1
