Rural development might appear to be a panacea for all the problems and imbalances affecting the various types of agriculture in the EU, but it is also one strand of the strategy to contain CAP spending and to liberalise agricultural markets, in conjunction with enlargement and negotiations at the World Trade Organisation.
The aim of market mechanisms, however, is to bolster prices, and, primarily, income, ignoring the need to resolve existing deep-seated injustices. Rural development cannot exist without farmers and agricultural production. The Commission proposal does not increase appropriations for rural development. Instead, it transfers some of the appropriations from the ‘markets’ pillar, which will mean some of the CAP’s costs being renationalised.
The proposals contained in this report are broadly to be welcomed, although they uphold the original framework. Our vote reflects the improvements the report makes, particularly: the support it provides for less-favoured areas, for young farmers, for women in rural areas, for promoting agricultural production and for increasing the amounts of aid under the various instruments, including our proposal for a EUR 100 increase for compensatory allowances for the less-favoured regions."@en1
